FADE IN:
INT. EMPTY BEDROOM - DAY
JOHNNY is speaking to someone, it’s not known who.
JOHNNY
You don’t know how badly I’ve
wanted to tell you. The truth about
my life has been buried inside me
for so long -- I didn’t even know
if it existed anymore -- but that’s
why I have to tell you.
(glances left, right)
Cornelius, Danica. I’m not who you
think I am.
(deep breath)
I’m an angel. I’m part of this
secret religious organization
called the Vatican Brigade.
Johnny shows his Vatican Brigade lapel pin, the “cross wedged
between a V.”
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Remember this? Well it’s our
special seal. We’re basically a big
group of crime fighters. We use our
special talents and abilities to
fight evil.
(lowers head)
I know. It’s crazy, huh?
The sound of a DOOR opening is heard. DANICA enters the empty

room, sees Johnny looking into a full length mirror.
DANICA
Johnny?
JOHNNY
(turns)
Oh! Danica. You scared me.
DANICA
Really? Is there something about me
to be afraid of?
JOHNNY
No, I just --
DANICA
Could you bring that mirror down?
We need to sell it.
2.
JOHNNY
(glances back)
Uh, sure. No problem.
DANICA
Thanks.
Danica leaves. Johnny grabs the mirror.
EXT. CORNELIUS’ HOUSE - DAY
There is a swath of people on the DRIVEWAY.
They are browsing, buying, and haggling at Cornelius’

GARAGE SALE.
Danica is at the cash table, talking to a large muscular bald

man wearing a dark denim vest. BERNARD. He is holding up an
old looking book with strange symbols on the front.
THE BOOK OF THE DEAD.
BERNARD
How much is this dusty old book?
DANICA
I’m sorry that book’s not for sale.
BERNARD
It has to be. Why is out here then?
DANICA
I don’t know. It musta been a
mistake. It should’ve been packed
up with the other boxes.
BERNARD
Come on, sell it to me.
DANICA
I’m sorry. It’s not my book. It
belongs to my dad. He’s a real avid
collector of books. Boy, if I gave
it away... I don’t know what he’d
do to me.
BERNARD
You’re not giving it away. You’re
selling it.
3.
DANICA
Sorry. I can’t. Is there anything
else you --
BERNARD
I’ll give you a hundred bucks.
Danica shakes her head, no.
BERNARD (CONT'D)
Two hundred.
DANICA
Uh...
BERNARD
Three hundred.
DANICA
Um...
BERNARD
Five hundred dollars!
DANICA
No! It’s not mine. I can’t sell it.
BERNARD
Okay. I know you’re playing
hardball.
(takes out thick wad of
cash)
Ten thousand dollars.
DANICA
You really want that book don’t
you?
Bernard nods with a salacious look on his face.
DANICA (CONT'D)
The more reason not to sell it.
Danica grabs the book back.
BERNARD
(angry)
I need that book.
DANICA
Mister, if you want a photocopy, I
can photocopy it for you.
(MORE)
4.
DANICA (CONT'D)
But I can’t sell it unless I get my
dad’s permission... And he is NOT
here.
Bernard puts his money away, he pushes over the cash table.
CRASH. Everyone looks.
DANICA (CONT'D)
Hey, what the heck is wrong with
you?!
BERNARD
Give me the book.
CORNELIUS appears.
CORNELIUS
Hey! You better back off, buddy.
BERNARD
(cracks knuckles)
Why don’t you make me?
CORNELIUS
Okay.
Cornelius looks behind and grabs a baseball bat from the

ground.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
How’s this?
DANICA
(low voice)
Cornelius put the bat away!
CORNELIUS
I’ve got this under control,
Danica.
(to Bald Man)
Look here, baldy. If you don’t get
off my property, I’m gonna hafta
start swinging. And when I swing, I
don’t stop.
BERNARD
Try me.
CORNELIUS
Really? I was just bluffing. I’m
not a violent --
BERNARD
HIT ME!
5.
Cornelius shrugs, he swings his bat. It breaks off on the

Bernard’s thick head.
CORNELIUS
(surprised)
You are a freak!
As Bernard pulls back his fist, Johnny appears with the full
length mirror.
JOHNNY
Hey, Cornelius where do you want me
to --
A loud WHACK is heard. Cornelius crashes into the mirror,

shattering it into a dozen pieces. He slumps to the ground.
The NEIGHBOR standing beside Johnny looks down.
NEIGHBOR
Oh no -- that’s seven years bad
luck!
Johnny puts the broken mirror aside.
JOHNNY
Cornelius, are you okay?
CORNELIUS
(groans)
Sure, why not!
JOHNNY
Don’t move. I’ll be back.
Cornelius’ gives a thumbs up. He flops his head over and

passes out. As Johnny marches over to Bernard, Danica
discreetly dials 911 on her cell-phone.
BERNARD
(folds arms, smirks)
Whatcha gonna do, boy?
Johnny puts up his dukes like an old school Irish boxer.
JOHNNY
Come on...
Bernard pulls back his fist.
WHACK!
Johnny lands beside Cornelius.

6.
CORNELIUS
(wakes, looks at Johnny)
Welcome to the club.
As Danica closes her cellphone, the sound of police SIRENS

are heard. A squad car stops in front of the house. COP #1
and COP #2 step onto the driveway with their guns out.
COP #1
Put your hands where we can see
‘em!
BERNARD
I think there’s a misunderstanding
here, I was just --
COP #2
Shut up and put your hands in the
air!
Bernard puts up his hands. He looks at Danica holding the

Necronomicon in her arms.
COP #1
Now turn around!
Bernard turns the other way. Then suddenly he grabs the table
and chucks it the COP #1 and COP #2. They duck to the ground.
It crashes into the windshield of their squad car.
Bernard grabs the Necronomicon from Danica.
DANICA
Hey that’s --
He jumps onto the house roof with a single bound.
DANICA (CONT'D)
(surprised)
Whoa.
Bernard glances back.
Cop #1 and Cop #2, in their rage, blindly fire their pistols.
Johnny and Cornelius stand to look, they watch as Bernard
leaps up and disappears into the CLOUDS.
MATCH CUT TO:

7.
EXT. CORNELIUS’ HOUSE - NIGHT
Dropping down from the clouds, eyes are brought back to

Cornelius’ house, in front of a wide illuminated window
covered in fancy white curtains.
SUPER IMPOSE TITLE: “THE ANGEL TWO”
INT. EMPTY LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Johnny, Cornelius, and Danica are all seated on the hardwood

floor in an empty living room. There is a half-eaten box of
pizza and several open cans of soda.
CORNELIUS
I know, I know. But I still can’t
believe what I saw... Tom Cruise
went completely bonkers! He IS the
definition of manic.
DANICA
Oh he’s just got a lot of energy,
that’s all.
CORNELIUS
Tom Cruise climbs mountains and
flies airplanes. I don’t think you
can attribute that behavior to just
‘a lot of energy.’
JOHNNY
Did anyone not notice that guy
jumping onto the roof and
disappearing into the sky?
CORNELIUS
Johnny... There’s a lot of crazy
things that go on in New York. You
can’t always believe everything you
see.
JOHNNY
I think you’ve been reading too
much ‘Skeptic’ magazine.
CORNELIUS
It’s a really good publication.
JOHNNY
Is not.
8.
CORNELIUS
Is too.
JOHNNY
Is not!
CORNELIUS
Is too!
DANICA
FELLAS! Can we not argue? I mean,
we’re not gonna be able to spend
much time with each other anymore.
Let’s enjoy the moments. Okay?
JOHNNY
I’m sorry.
CORNELIUS
I’m sorry too. Let’s hug.
JOHNNY
What?
CORNELIUS
It’s a very emotional moment. I
think we should hug.
JOHNNY
Aw, come on. I’ll see you every now
and then, right? Every week?
CORNELIUS
Not likely.
JOHNNY
Whaddaya mean? I thought you had
your own personal jet.
CORNELIUS
Not anymore.
JOHNNY
What happened?
CORNELIUS
(sighs)
Recession.
JOHNNY
It’s not that bad is it?
9.
CORNELIUS
The company’s in the proverbial
red.
JOHNNY
So I won’t get to see you once you
move to California?
Danica folds her arms, “What about me?”
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
And Danica?
CORNELIUS
What can I say? People don’t like
to buy gold plated car accessories
anymore.
JOHNNY
Do I at least get to see you before
you get on the airplane?
CORNELIUS
Of course... Homeland Security
isn’t that evil.
DANICA
(sighs, looks around)
I sure will miss this place. I
don’t even really wanna move.
CORNELIUS
It’s for the better. Dad’s getting
back with mom. We’re gonna be one
big happy family.
DANICA
For you maybe.
CORNELIUS
What’s that supposed to mean?
DANICA
She’s YOUR mom, not mine.
CORNELIUS
Hey... Chin up, Danica. Maybe
dad’ll become a polygamist. Then we
can all be together.
DANICA
Actually, I think that’s why he go
into trouble in the first place.
10.
CORNELIUS
Nooo, it’s because he’s a
work-a-holic... Or is that
alcoholic. Eh! Potato, potawto!
EXT. AIRPORT - DAY
The airport is busy. Planes fly in and out.
INT. TERMINAL GATE - DAY
Johnny in standing in front of Danica and Cornelius. He looks

at them all doe-eyed, then spreads out his arms and gives
them a hug.
JOHNNY
Don’t forget about me guys. I won’t
forget about you.
DANICA
We won’t.
Johnny lets go.
JOHNNY
Oh. I almost forgot.
He reaches into his jacket and takes out two small

giftwrapped packages. He hands one each to Danica and
Cornelius.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Going away presents.
CORNELIUS
(glances)
Thanks.
Cornelius pats Johnny on the shoulder. Then he and Danica

walk into the jet bridge. Johnny waves goodbye.
EXT. SKY - DAY
An AIRPLANE flies smoothly in the sky.
INT. PLANE - DAY
Danica and Cornelius have their gifts out from Johnny.

11.
DANICA
What do you think it is?
CORNELIUS
I dunno. Let’s find out.
Cornelius and Danica tear off the giftwrapping from their

presents. The gifts are mini bibles attached to key chains.
INT. AIRPORT BAR - DAY
Johnny takes a seat on a stool. The BARTENDER has his back

turned toward him, drying some glasses with a towel. Johnny
loudly CLEARS HIS THROAT.
The Bartender puts down his towel and faces Johnny.
BARTENDER
How may I whet your whistle?
JOHNNY
(recognizes)
Hey, you’re...
BARTENDER
What can I get yah?
JOHNNY
Uh, beer?
BARTENDER
But you don’t drink.
JOHNNY
How do you know?
BARTENDER
You think I don’t recognize you,
the only person in the Saucy Tart
who didn’t drink alcohol?
JOHNNY
(to self)
That’s true.
(to Bartender)
By the way, what happened to that
bar of yours?
BARTENDER
Rats.
12.
JOHNNY
It shut down because of rats?
BARTENDER
Not real rats mind you.
JOHNNY
What’re we talking about then?
BARTENDER
(leans in)
Skinheads.
JOHNNY
You mean --
BARTENDER
Nazis! Neo-nazis.
JOHNNY
I guess they were bad customers,
huh?
BARTENDER
No, they were great customers.
Tipped very well. But I didn’t
wanna serve them.
JOHNNY
So that’s why you’re here?
BARTENDER
Yup. And you?
JOHNNY
(sighs)
I had to see some friends off.
BARTENDER
They will return though?
JOHNNY
No. It’s not a vacation.
BARTENDER
That’s tough. Tell yah what.
Drink’s on me.
The Bartender spins around and stirs a glass of strawberry

milk. He turns back to Johnny and gives him the glass.
JOHNNY
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
13.
Johnny takes a sip. The Bartender looks at him with pity.
BARTENDER
...You’ll make new friends.
JOHNNY
I dunno. I just finished college
last year. And I’m not much of an
‘animal’ for parties -- I mean,
where would I meet anyone?
BARTENDER
You finished college last year?
JOHNNY
Did the whole thing in one year. I
know. I’m a nerd.
BARTENDER
No. It’s very impressive. I didn’t
even go to college. I got my degree
on the streets, if yah know what I
mean.
JOHNNY
Sociology?
BARTENDER
You could say that.
Johnny and the Bartender smile.
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
Johnny goes into the church.
INT. CHURCH - DAY
He walks around the pews and knocks on a door on the east

side.
FULLERTON (OS)
Come in!
Johnny lets himself inside the room.
INT. CHURCH ROOM - DAY
Father FULLERTON is on a chair reading a book. Johnny goes

over and stands in front of him.
14.
FULLERTON
(puts down book)
Hello, Johnny. Have a seat.
Johnny sits down on a chair.
FULLERTON (CONT'D)
What can I do for you?
JOHNNY
I can’t do this anymore.
FULLERTON
Oh no! You’re not switching
religions are you?! Because we
really --
JOHNNY
No, no, no, no. It’s nothing like
that. I’m talking you know...
FULLERTON
Oh!
JOHNNY
I gotta quit.
FULLERTON
Why? Is it not enough money?
JOHNNY
Father, I would do this for free --
but I can’t. I literally can’t. I
can’t get up anymore.
FULLERTON
That’s what she said!
Johnny rolls his eyes.
FULLERTON (CONT'D)
Just kidding... So what exactly do
you mean by that?
JOHNNY
My wings won’t come out.
FULLERTON
Performance anxiety?
JOHNNY
Nah, I don’t think that’s it.
15.
FULLERTON
(snaps fingers)
I know! Your wings only come out
when you or someone else is in
danger. Therefore in order for you
to get your powers back, you have
to put yourself in danger.
JOHNNY
Uh, what kind of danger?
Fullerton gets a wide grin on his face.
EXT. ROOFTOP - DAY
Johnny stands on the edge of the roof. He looks below and

takes in a deep breath.
JOHNNY
Okay. It’s do or die.
Johnny leaps off.
EXT. SIDEWALK - DAY
A mom and her DAUGHTER are going down the sidewalk when
Johnny falls from the rooftop and lands in front of them.
KATOOSH!
The mom shrieks. Johnny groans with his face sunk into the
sidewalk. He pulls his head up and looks at the mom with her
daughter.
JOHNNY
Believe it or not, this isn’t the
first time this’s happened.
A SHRILL SCREAM is heard.
Johnny turns his head toward the noise. He sees a woman with
a purse being held at gunpoint by a ROBBER.
ROBBER
Empty your goddamn purse!
Johnny gets up and goes over to help.
DAUGHTER
Be careful!
16.
The Robber pulls back the hammer on his six shooter. He

presses it into the woman’s forehead as she trembles.
ROBBER
Hurry up!
The woman slowly starts unzipping her Louis Vuitton.
JOHNNY (OS)
Sucker punch!
The Robber turns his head.
ROBBER
What?
Johnny punches him in the chin with a swift jab. He stumbles

back with his gun, eyes half-close.
JOHNNY
(to woman)
The audacity of these criminals.
Robbing a person in broad day
light!
As Johnny turns his head and looks at the Robber, his gun
jolts with a misfire. A bullet lodges into Johnny’s forehead.
He falls onto his back with arms out... THUD!
The woman screams with panic and runs away.
Closely looking at Johnny’s forehead -- the bullet is pushing

out of his skull. It surfaces past the layers of skin and
falls out to the ground.
Plink!
The wound heals over with flesh instantaneously. Johnny’s

eyes flash open as his white feathered wings pop out from
behind his back.
EXT. OVER LOS ANGELES - DAY
CALIFORNIA with a soaring bird's-eye view over the city of

Los Angeles.
MUSIC UP: “DANI CALIFORNIA”

17.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - WEST - DAY
Johnny struts down the sidewalk, taking in the sights and

sounds, as the “Chili Peppers” play in his head. When the
song elevates he starts to lip-synch and sway his body to the
rhythm. Then, with the music, he suddenly stops.
EXT. GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATRE - DAY
Johnny tilts his head and looks up with wide-eyes. In front

of him is a large sign which reads,
“PREMIERE: ALIEN VS KING KONG”
INT. GRAUMAN’S CHINESE THEATRE - DAY
Johnny is sitting in the middle of a near empty theatre. He

smiles and eats popcorn as bangs and flashes go across his
eyes.
INT. CALI HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
A late afternoon...
Cornelius is at a corner table, engorged, reading a book.

Danica is sitting lethargically on the couch watching
television.
CORNELIUS
According to this book, it says
Hitler didn’t die in 1945.
DANICA
No?
CORNELIUS
Apparently he faked his death. He
killed a body double with a cyanide
pill, then shot him in the head to
make it look like a suicide.
DANICA
(yawns)
That’s very interesting.
18.
CORNELIUS
And get this -- Hitler stowed away
on a boat and escaped to America --
where he made a living as a
professor of German history!
DANICA
Is that so?
CORNELIUS
And he died in 1969 at the age of
eighty in a retirement home! The
same year Denton Cooley implanted
the first artificial heart!
DANICA
Can I see that book for a second?
CORNELIUS
Sure!
Cornelius stands up and hands Danica the book,
“Conspiracies of World War 2”
DANICA
Thanks.
Danica takes the book, and with the flick of her wrist,
throws it across the room into a wastebasket in the corner.
CORNELIUS
Hey!
Cornelius runs to get his book. The PHONE on the stand beside
Danica rings. She leans to the side and picks it up.
DANICA
(on phone)
Hello?
JOHNNY (VO)
(filtered)
Danica is that you?
Cornelius picks up his book from the wastebasket. There’s

some kind of nasty goop on it.
CORNELIUS
Ew...
He throws it back in.

19.
DANICA
Who is this?
Cornelius takes a seat beside Danica and leans on the

arm-rest, bored.
JOHNNY (VO)
It’s me!
DANICA
Me who?
JOHNNY (VO)
Johnny!
DANICA
Oh my God! How are you?
JOHNNY (VO)
I’m good, I’m good. What about you?
How’s Cornelius?
DANICA
Eh, we’re doing alright. Kind of
boring though. Not like New York.
JOHNNY (VO)
Trust me. It’s boring here too.
CORNELIUS
(to Danica)
Who is that?
DANICA
(to Cornelius)
It’s Johnny.
(back to phone)
Yeah, so --
Cornelius grabs the phone from Danica.
CORNELIUS
(on phone)
Eh! Johnny boy!
JOHNNY (VO)
Cornelius?
CORNELIUS
What’s up?
20.
JOHNNY (VO)
Not much, not much. Just being a
tourist.
Danica leans over and listens in on the conversation.
CORNELIUS
So are you gonna come and visit us
or what? You know the address,
right?
JOHNNY (VO)
Yeah. I got your e-mail.
CORNELIUS
Cool. Come over whenever you want
then.
JOHNNY (VO)
I’ll be over in a New York minute.
Johnny hangs up. Click.
CORNELIUS
Hello?
DING DONG! DING DONG!
Cornelius and Danica get up.
INT. CALI HOUSE - MAIN FOYER - DAY
Cornelius and Danica get into the main foyer as the

DOOR BELL rings excitedly. They open the door.
Johnny smiles and waves in front of them.
DANICA
Johnny!
EXT. CALI HOUSE - DAY
Danica rushes toward Johnny and wraps her arms around him.
She hugs him tightly.
DANICA
I missed you so much.
JOHNNY
It hasn’t even been a week yet.
21.
DANICA
I know...
Cornelius leans against the frame of the door with a broad

grin, looking.
CORNELIUS
Welcome back prodigal son!
He steps forward and gives Johnny a man-hug.
EXT. JAPANESE RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Johnny, Danica, and Cornelius are sitting around a large

round table, enjoying sushi and green tea.
CORNELIUS
So then I says to Bob, ‘WELL
THERE’S YOUR PROBLEM!’
Everyone laughs.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
(wipes a tear)
Oh, I’m good...
They calm down.
DANICA
So Johnny! How’s that job of yours
going?
JOHNNY
Mm, not bad I guess. The hours are
terrible, but I get paid more than
enough.
DANICA
What exactly do you do?
JOHNNY
(eyes dart, nervous)
Uh...
CORNELIUS
Yeah! I’ve always wondered that.
What is this job you have? They
call you at all hours of the night
-- and the day! It’s definitely a
far cry from the regular ol’ nine
to five.
22.
JOHNNY
I, I do alotta miscellaneous
things. Odd jobs. Mostly odd jobs.
DANICA
That’s what you said last time.
JOHNNY
Well it’s true.
CORNELIUS
Is it something bad? Are you
working for the mafia?
JOHNNY
Okay, I’ve given you guys the run
around long enough. I’ll tell you
the truth...
The restaurant seems to go quiet as Johnny slowly leans

forward.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
I’m a superhero. I can fly. I have
super strength. And --
CORNELIUS
You’re allergic to kryptonite!
JOHNNY
Huh?
CORNELIUS
Ah, Johnny. You don’t have to
patronize us. If you really don’t
wanna tell us, we understand. It’s
probably an embarrassing job,
right? Like cleaning up dog crap or
something.
JOHNNY
Yes. That’s exactly it.
DANICA
You don’t clean up dog crap -- do
you?
JOHNNY
I clean up something.
CORNELIUS
Nuff said...
23.
Johnny’s CELL-PHONE start vibrating in his pocket. He reaches

in and pulls it out.
JOHNNY
(to Cornelius, Danica)
Sorry. I gotta take this.
He hunches over and answers it, whispering.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
(on phone)
Hello?
Cornelius and Danica continue eating.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
(on phone)
Right now? Are you serious? I’m in
the middle of something? Okay. I’ll
be there. Bye!
Johnny puts his cell-phone away.
CORNELIUS
Who was that?
JOHNNY
Nobody. Nobody important... Hey, I
gotta go to the bank for a second.
I left my wallet at your place.
DANICA
You didn’t leave it on my bed did
you?
CORNELIUS
You were on my sister’s bed?
JOHNNY
I just sat down for a second or
two. Nothing naughty.
CORNELIUS
Oh really?
DANICA
Hey, even if we were doing
something naughty -- it’s not
really your business, Cornelius.
CORNELIUS
Isn’t it?
24.
Johnny pushes back his chair and stands.
JOHNNY
I really hafta go. I need to draw
out some money from the ATM.
DANICA
There’s an ATM in the lobby.
JOHNNY
Yes, but it’s not the one I need.
CORNELIUS
Johnny, you don’t have to pay for
your food. This is our treat.
You’re our guest.
JOHNNY
Regardless, I still need a bit of
spending cash. You know there’s
some many cool tchotchkes that I
want.
CORNELIUS
Okay. Fine. But be back as quick as
possible, okay?
JOHNNY
(thumbs up)
Just call me Speedy Gonzales.
Johnny leaves.
EXT. BANK - NIGHT
There is a dark nondescript van by the curb-side.
INT. BANK - NIGHT
Moving through the bank floor. There are several dead

security guards lying on the ground. Over by the far end are
two thieves trying to bust into the big steel vault.
THIEF #1 is using a heavy duty blowtorch on the door. There

is a duffel bag by his feet. He slowly circles around with
the flame while THIEF #2 stands guard with a shotgun.
THIEF #1
This is gonna be sweet.
25.
THIEF #2
Hurry up...
THIEF #1
Shaddup, I’m going as fast as I
can.
Thief #1 completes a small circle on the vault door. It glows

a flaming orange. He takes a crowbar and pulls it out. The
piece falls to the floor and spins around like a coin.
Thief #1 takes out a canister from his duffel bag. He shakes

it up, making that distinctive RATTLING sound.
THIEF #1 (CONT'D)
Explosives please.
Thief #2 hands Thief #1 a square of C-4 with triple LED

lights on the front; it is connected to electronics. Thief #1
takes it and uses his canister to foam it in place within the
circle.
THIEF #1 (CONT'D)
We better distance ourselves.
Thief #1 and Thief #2 take their equipment and sneak over to

a desk. They flip it over and hide behind.
THIEF #1 (CONT'D)
Ready?
THIEF #2
Ready.
Thief #1 takes out a remote detonator. He pulls up an antenna

and pushes a button. The LED lights on the C-4 light up. One,
two, three.
Then... KABOOM!
An explosion rocks the bank, throwing up pieces of debris.

The thieves peak out from behind the table. The blast has
created a beach ball sized hole on the vault, half a circle
on the door and half on the wall.
Thief #1 and Thief #2 scamper back to the vault. Together

they pull open the door and go inside.
THE VAULT is huge. Its walls are lined with hundreds of bank
boxes, from floor to ceiling.
26.
THIEF #1
(searching)
Which one is it in again?
THIEF #2
Ninety fifty four.
Thief #1 spots the box in the middle: 9054. He points with

eagerness.
THIEF #1
Ah, and there it is.
THIEF #2
How do we get to it? Should we
blast it open?
THIEF #1
No, this needs a more delicate
procedure. We have to pick the
lock...
Thief #1 grabs Thief #2’s shotgun.
THIEF #2
Hey!
He pumps it and shoots at the box, popping it open.
Thief #1 looks inside and takes out a Ziploc bag with a piece
of mouldy bread in it. Thief #2 scratches his head.
THIEF #2 (CONT'D)
What is that? You said we’d be
coming here to get an ancient
relic.
THIEF #1
This IS the ancient relic, stupid.
It’s a piece of bread from the Last
Supper.
Thief #1 holds up the bag in front of Thief #2’s face and

mockingly shakes it.
EXT. BANK - NIGHT
Thief #1 and Thief #2 come out of the bank. They rush into
the van on the curb-side and quickly drive off.
27.
EXT. VINE STREET - NIGHT
The van speeds down the street.
INT. VINE STREET - VAN - NIGHT
Thief #1 is behind the wheel driving, while Thief #2 is in

the passenger seat beside. His arm hanging out over the wound
down window. He look in the side-view mirror.
The ANGEL is trailing behind.
THIEF #2
Looks like we got company.
Thief #1 glances in his side-view mirror. He sticks his head

out the window and shouts back.
THIEF #1
We know you’re there yah bastard!
(to Thief #2)
Load the cannon.
EXT. VINE STREET - NIGHT
The back doors of the van swing open. Thief #2 lights the
fuse on a cannon facing outward. The Angel has a look of
shock on his face as the cannon fires off.
A big iron ball hurdles toward him. It nails him in the gut
and sends crashing onto the pavement.
The van turns a corner and disappears.
The Angel wheezes. He pushes the cannonball off his tattered

midsection; it rolls away and stops on a sewer grate. There
is a NAZI symbol on front. A grinning skull -- a TOTENKOPF.
INT. JAPANESE RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Johnny walks into the restaurant, he goes back to his table

with Cornelius and Danica. They look at his tattered shirt
with the hole in the middle.
CORNELIUS
What happened to your shirt?
JOHNNY
Uh... Steam pipe explosion.
28.
CORNELIUS
But there aren’t any steam pipes
around here.
JOHNNY
(unsure what to say)
...That’s what she said! Woo!
CORNELIUS
Huh?
Johnny sits down like everything is completely normal. Danica

puts a piece of sushi into her mouth.
INT. PSYCHIATRIST’S OFFICE - DAY
A Newton’s cradle motions back and forth on a faux wooden

desk. Over by the couch, Danica is lying down being examined
by a PSYCHIATRIST. She is a leggy lady holding a note-pad and
pen. Her body is slightly angled, legs firmly crossed.
DANICA
I dunno... I dunno, doc! I dunno
what it is, but I just can’t stop
thinking about him.
(deep breath)
It’s killing me inside.
PSYCHIATRIST
Well, he is your brother.
DANICA
I know! But does he have to be so
damn annoying and inconsiderate?!
PSYCHIATRIST
Look, I think I know what your
problem is -- you’re too stressed
out, Danica. You gotta relax. Get
used to the city. Go out and enjoy
yourself. Get stimulated. Ask your
boyfriend to take you somewhere.
DANICA
Um, I don’t have a boyfriend.
PSYCHIATRIST
There has to be someone you like.
Danica bites her lower lip, thinking of someone.

29.
EXT. CALI HOUSE - BACKYARD - NIGHT
Crickets chirp on the cool summer night, resting between the

blades of grass. Voices are heard off screen, not too far
away.
Cornelius and his mother, MRS. MCQUEEN.
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

Check mate.
CORNELIUS (OS)
You cheated.
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

Did not!
CORNELIUS (OS)
Fine! Let’s start over again.
As two hands on opposite ends start collecting back the

pieces on a chess board, a third voice is heard.
Cornelius’ dad, MR. MCQUEEN.
MR. MCQUEEN (OS)

Cornelius!
Cornelius looks up from the deck. There is a figure in the

shadow of an open window, the floor above.
CORNELIUS
What?
MR. MCQUEEN
Where is your sister?
Mrs. McQueen scoots forward on her chair -- but we have yet

to see her face.
CORNELIUS
Shouldn’t you know?
MR. MCQUEEN
Don’t you gimme lip! I ask you a
question you answer me! You’re
under my roof, I’m the boss!
CORNELIUS
Currently I am not under your roof!
30.
MR. MCQUEEN
Just answer the question!
CORNELIUS
Is this your idea of being
concerned about your children?
MR. MCQUEEN
Don’t make me come down there!
CORNELIUS
Put on your pants first!
The silhouette of Mr. McQueen rolls up its sleeves.
MR. MCQUEEN
Why I oughta --
CORNELIUS
Relax, dad! She’s at a dance club
or something!
MR. MCQUEEN
One of those dirty dancing clubs I
bet you!
CORNELIUS
I don’t know! I’ve never been there
before!
MR. MCQUEEN
Ah! You lazy kid! Keep an eye on
your sister next time!
CORNELIUS
Okay! Can I go back to playing
chess now?!
Mr. McQueen slams his window close. Cornelius turns back to

his mom, Mrs. McQueen.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Now where were we?
She rests her chin on her hand.
EXT. CLUB ASTARD - NIGHT
Johnny and Danica are in line, waiting to get into a hot new
club. After the couple in front of them is waved inside, they
are “greeted” by the BOUNCER holding the clipboard.
31.
He is wearing a shirt which says “Club Astard”.
BOUNCER
Names?
DANICA
Danica McQueen and Johnny Wallace.
BOUNCER
(looks on clipboard)
Not on the list... NEXT!
JOHNNY
Wait!
BOUNCER
What?
JOHNNY
Why do we have to have our names on
a list to get inside the club?
BOUNCER
I dunno. It’s cool.
JOHNNY
How is that cool?
BOUNCER
By being exclusionary and picky we
make this look like the place to
be. Supply and demand. It’s the
basic law of economics... To be
honest with you this club isn’t
even that great. It smells like
sweat and aftershave inside.
DANICA
...Sooo can we get in or not?
BOUNCER
That all depends on you baby. Do
you have what it takes to club it
up like Paris Hilton?
DANICA
No.
BOUNCER
Well, who cares. I’m quitting
tomorrow.
The Bouncer swings the door wide open.

32.
BOUNCER (CONT'D)
(waves)
Everyone get the hell on in!
The waiting people rush into the club.
INT. CLUB DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT
Disco balls, go-go dancers, and loud music. The club’s in

swing, packed with hot sweaty people. Johnny and Danica take
shelter from the frenzy in a dark corner.
They stand facing each other, nervous about being alone

together. Their bodies barely moving, they hold their drinks
in front of them -- a sort of pseudo-shield.
JOHNNY
I just think that the education
system needs to be fixed. There’s
not enough focus on science, math
and physical education. The
standards have very much been
lowered. As a nation we’re falling
behind.
DANICA
...Are we going to dance?
JOHNNY
Uh, sure. Why not.
Johnny spreads out his legs and starts motioning his arms,
doing some weird chopped up form of a Fred Astaire dance.
Danica takes a gulp of her drink.
INT. CLUB BASEMENT - NIGHT
Danica walks down the metal staircase. Her steps echo with
each foot set down. She gets to bottom. There are several
ways to go.
DANICA
(looking)
Now where did he say the bathroom
was again?
(thinking)
Hug the wall to the right. Take two
turns left, then another right. Go
straight for a minute, take a left,
take a right -- you can’t miss it.
33.
Danica looks reluctant. She steps forward and takes the path
to the very right.
INT. CLUB HALLWAY - NIGHT
As Danica walks through the dingy hallway, she hears MUMBLING

voices. She follows the sound and comes up to a door with a
sign on front which reads, “Restricted Area.”
Danica puts her ear against the door and listens.
INT. RESTRICTED AREA - NIGHT
Inside a dimly lit room are several skinheads standing around

a cheap square table with a Ouija board on top. Amongst the
group is Thief #1 and Thief #2.
They watch intently as the punky skinhead named KRIEPENZTOP

moves around a planchette.
KRIEPENZTOP
Is your spirit in the room with us
right now?
The planchette moves over on the Ouija board to YES.
KRIEPENZTOP (CONT'D)
Is it true you did not actually die
on April 30th?
Yes.
And you died on a later date --
much later?
Yes.
Have you been watching us?
Yes.
Do you know what we are trying to
do?
Yes.
THIEF #1
Ask about the location...
34.
KRIEPENZTOP
Are we on the right track to
finding you?
No.
Then where are you located?
The Ouija board starts to rumble. The lights flicker as the

planchette zips across to several letters, spelling out:
DEATH VALLEY
Death Valley? Is this correct?
The Ouija flies off the table by an unseen force.
INT. CLUB HALLWAY - NIGHT
As Danica removes her ear from the door, skinhead Bernard

suddenly appears from behind. He grabs her and wraps his
thick hand around her mouth.
INT. CLUB DANCE FLOOR - NIGHT
Cornelius awaits for Danica’s return. He reaches into his

pocket and takes out his cellphone. He looks at the time,
3:00 AM.
EXT. HIGHLAND AVENUE- NIGHT
A dusky looking 18 WHEELER honks its horn as it runs through

a red light.
INT. 18 WHEELER TRAILER - NIGHT
Danica is tied to a chair. She is surrounded by the skinheads

from earlier before, along with head honcho, Bernard. Seated
at the end of the trailer, he is silent like a statue.
DANICA
I dunno who you creeps think you
are, but I assure you, I am NOT
going down without a fight! You
even touch me -- I’ll bite it off!
35.
KRIEPENZTOP
Relax. We’re not those type of
people.
THIEF #1
We’re a lot worse.
DANICA
What’re you talking about?
THIEF #2
Who is history’s most hated person?
DANICA
George W. Bush?
THIEF #2
George W. -- NO! Think worse.
DANICA
I can’t think of anybody worse
except for...
Danica’s face goes pale.
DANICA (CONT'D)
Wait-a-minute, you guys are --
Kriepenztop lifts his sleeve and shows Danica his SWASTIKA.
DANICA (CONT'D)
Nazis!
KRIEPENZTOP
Neo-Nazis to be exact.
DANICA
Ooh you little...
Danica swings her foot out and kicks Kriepenztop in the

testicles. He clutches his stomach and wheezes in pain.
KRIEPENZTOP
You bi-bi-bitch!
Kriepenztop grabs Danica by the shirt and pulls back his arm
to slap her.
BERNARD
Kriepenztop!
Kriepenztop pauses and looks at Bernard.

36.
BERNARD (CONT'D)
Sit down.
KRIEPENZTOP
There’s nowhere to sit.
BERNARD
Fine a place.
Kriepenztop pushes the other skinheads out of the way. He

sits down on the floor, opposite to Danica. He mumbles to
himself incomprehensibly.
Bernard stands up and walks over to Danica. He takes out a

blindfold.
BERNARD (CONT'D)
Time for the fun to begin.
And wraps it around her eyes.
DANICA
What’re you going to do to me?
As Bernard grins the lights suddenly go out.
BERNARD
What the hell?
We hear the sound of the 18 wheeler screeching to a halt and

a set of bodies falling to the floor, “Augh!” Then the
creaking of doors opening as a dark blue light and shadowy
figure with wings enters through the back.
The doors shut behind. Blackness again, followed by violent

noises inside: BAM! WHAM! SLAM! WHACK! POW!
Then the place is dropped into silence.
DANICA (OS)
...Hello?
ANGEL (OS)
Don’t move.
The sound of ROPE SNAPPING is heard. The back doors of the

trailer kick open. And in his arms, the Angel takes Danica
out into the dim radiance of the night.
37.
EXT. CITY HALL - DAY
The CHIEF of police, is behind a podium, speaking to a slew

of reporters and the media. He tries to listen to them
amongst the bickering.
CHIEF
Please! One question at a time.
The crowd simmers down. JOURNALIST raises his hand in the

air.
CHIEF (CONT'D)
(points)
Yes. You.
JOURNALIST
Mr. Fandino! Is it not true you
shook hands with the leader of the
Hells Angels?
CHIEF
Would you please stick to the
subject matter?
JOURNALIST
It’s a simple yes-or-no question.
CHIEF
(whisper to side)
Would somebody please cut off his
mic?
JOURNALIST
Sorry, Mr. Fandino! This isn’t the
Bill O’Reilly show! Now answer my
question!
CHIEF
No. You had your turn... NEXT!
JOURNALIST
Fine! I’ll stick to the ‘subject
matter.’ What are you going to do
about the soaring crime rate --
beside eating donuts, hmm?
CHIEF
(glares)
We are going to hire more police
officers to monitor the city.
38.
JOURNALIST
The LAPD is already bloated as it
is! We don’t need more cops handing
out traffic tickets for revenue!
What we need is crime prevention!
Getting to the root of the problem!
CHIEF
We are working on that.
JOURNALIST
And what about the hate crime, hmm?
That’s gone up 50% since last year
-- the exact time you opted to hire
more police officers! Is that not
highly coincidental?!
CHIEF
I don’t know what is up your ass,
but you’re getting on my nerves!
The Journalist holds up a B&W photo of a clean-cut looking

teenage boy.
JOURNALIST
Mordechai Steinberg! My dear nephew
-- beat to a bloody pulp last year
by anti-Semites! And what has the
police done since then? NOTHING!
You haven’t even caught the little
Hitlers!
The crowd erupts, yelling and screaming. The Chief tries to

speak.
CHIEF
Please, I --
But is drowned out by the noise. He snaps to the side as a

tomato is thrown in the ruckus.
END OF ACT ONE
INT. CALI HOUSE - CORNELIUS’ ROOM - DAY
Cornelius is sitting at a desk, writing something on a

computer. He tries to concentrate as his parents argue
outside his door.
39.
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

I work my fingers to the bone to
keep this household together -- and
you can’t even help me out once a
week?!
MR. MCQUEEN (OS)

(emphatic)
I am the breadwinner! I make all
the money -- which YOOOU spend! So
if I wanna relax on the weekend,
that is my goddamn prerogative!
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

...You’re selfish! You are a
selfish, selfish man! All you can
do is think about yourself! There
are more things important than
money!
MR. MCQUEEN (OS)

Yeah?!
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

YEAH!
Cornelius sighs as he sinks down in frustration. He turns off

his computer and starts moving toward the other side of the
room.
MR. MCQUEEN (OS)

You know what your problem is,
Mariam?!
MRS. MCQUEEN (OS)

No! What is my problem, GERALD?!
MR. MCQUEEN (OS)

You’re old! You’ve got the PMS!
That’s why you’re always so cranky!
Cornelius starts climbing out the window, he steps onto a the

thick tree branch jutting toward his room. As he leaves a
loud SLAP is heard.
EXT. CALI HOUSE - BACKYARD - DAY
Cornelius climbs down his tree. He exits the backyard through

the wooden gate.
40.
EXT. NEARBY STREET - DAY
Cornelius is walking down the street. He pauses and squints

when he sees two young clean-cut men in white shirts and ties
coming toward him... MORMONS.
CORNELIUS (VO)
(thinking)
Mormons!
Cornelius tries to avoid them by going to the right -- but

they do too. So Cornelius goes left. They do too. He goes
right. Same thing again.
The zigzagging continues ‘till Cornelius tries to bolt

forward -- but the fast-footed Mormons step in his way and
stop him.
Two twins named BARRY and LARRY smile at Cornelius.
BARRY
Greetings! I’m Elder Barry!
Barry grabs Cornelius’ hand and shakes it.
LARRY
And I’m Elder Larry.
Larry does the same.
BARRY
We’re from the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints!
CORNELIUS
Fellas, I really don’t --
LARRY
Do you know about Jesus?
CORNELIUS
Yes, but I --
BARRY
Jesus is our saviour! The only one
who can save us from our sins!
CORNELIUS
Guys, if you would just --
LARRY
If we don’t listen to Jesus --
41.
CORNELIUS
WILL YOU MORMONS SHUT UP!
(deep breath)
Let me speak for a moment.
Barry and Larry look scared.
BARRY LARRY
Okay... Okay...
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
First I wanna say, I respect your
religion. BUT I am not interested.
I don’t believe in that stuff. I
don’t believe in God and I don’t
believe in Jesus. So anything you
try to tell me -- you’re just
wasting your breath.
LARRY
But what about the world?
CORNELIUS
What about it?
BARRY
It’s so beautiful and so complex
and wonderful.
LARRY
How could this just be one of those
things?
BARRY
Somebody must’ve created it.
LARRY
Like an artist making a sculpture.
BARRY
No details were overlooked.
CORNELIUS
...Fellas. The world is not
beautiful. It is a hostile, ugly
place.
LARRY
Well, I wouldn’t --
42.
CORNELIUS
Have you ever been to the Sahara or
the Antarctic Circle? All it is, is
sand and snow -- everywhere! And
you’re telling me that those two
things are God’s ‘wonderful’
creations created just for man?
Jesus H. Christ, man! If you stayed
there for more than half an hour
you’d be dead! Now is that part of
the plan or what?
BARRY LARRY
Um... Um...
Barry and Larry turn their heads to the sound of a car.

Danica appears behind in a convertible. She brakes beside.
DANICA
Cornelius!
CORNELIUS
(to Barry, Larry)
Sorry, gotta go.
Cornelius hops into the convertible. He and Danica take off.

Cornelius smiles as he waves goodbye to the Mormons.
EXT. 2ND STREET - DAY
Cornelius talks to Danica as she drives the convertible.
DANICA
Why are you staring at me?
CORNELIUS
I dunno, something about you looks
different.
DANICA
I am different.
CORNELIUS
Whaddaya mean by that?
DANICA
I’m not the same person I was
yesterday -- or the day before, or
the day before that. Everyday I
wake up I’m a different human
being. But you just haven’t
noticed, Cornelius.
43.
CORNELIUS
(confused)
...How long are we gonna be at the
police station again? ‘Cause, uh, I
have a job interview this
afternoon.
DANICA
Oh stop worrying. It’ll only be a
couple minutes.
CORNELIUS
And would you mind stopping on the
way for ice cream?
Danica rolls her eyes, “Ugh!”
INT. LINEUP ROOM - DAY
Cornelius eats an ice-cream cone as Danica is spoken to by

the police officer, WILKINS. She looks through a one-way
mirror, at the lineup of suspects.
WILKINS
Can you identify the main
perpetrator?
DANICA
Are you sure they can’t see me?
WILKINS
Absolutely. It’s 100% safe.
Danica scrutinizes the suspects. They’re all bald, wearing

raggedy clothes. It’s hard to choose.
DANICA
Hmm...
CORNELIUS
Will you hurry up, Danica?
WILKINS
Keep it down, son. Let her take her
time.
CORNELIUS
(imitating Wilkins)
Keep it down, son!
44.
DANICA
(looking)
I can’t decide... Do I have to
choose a suspect?
WILKINS
No ma’am. This is not a multiple
choice question.
Cornelius bites into his ice cream cone.
EXT. STREET TO THE PIZZERIA - DAY
In the convertible, Danica is driving Cornelius to his job

interview at the pizzeria.
CORNELIUS
I’m sorry, Danica...
DANICA
About what?
CORNELIUS
Not being able to help you. Not
being able to do more.
DANICA
It’s not your fault.
CORNELIUS
I know, but I should be more
supportive. You’re going through
something right now and I don’t
even understand it... But maybe I
should.
DANICA
Hey -- let’s not get melodramatic,
okay?
CORNELIUS
Sure...
EXT. PIZZERIA - DAY
Danica slows down the convertible and stops in front of the

pizzeria.
DANICA
Here we are...
45.
Cornelius gets out of the car, he walks toward the pizzeria.
DANICA (CONT'D)
Good luck, Cornelius! I really hope
you get that job!
Cornelius looks back.
CORNELIUS
Thanks.
He opens the front door.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
(to self)
I should.
EXT. LONELY ROAD - DAY
As Danica drives her convertible down a lonely road, her car

starts to sputter. It slows down and stops. Danica’s eyes
gazes toward the dashboard. She’s empty on gas.
DANICA
Crap.
Danica puts her car into neutral. She gets out and goes to
the back of her car and starts pushing against the bumper.
The convertible starts rolling.
EXT. PARK - DAY
Danica is tired. She’s sweaty and breathing heavy. She stops

in front of a park and takes a break, sitting angled on the
curb. She looks across the street, at the buildings.
In the reflection of the glass there is a PRETTY LADY being

stalked by a group of men. She looks Latino or of some other
South American ethnic mix.
Danica turns back and looks more closely.
DANICA
This looks a job for 911.
She takes out her cell-phone. She tries to power it on, but
the screen shows: NO BATTERY, PLEASE RECHARGE
DANICA (CONT'D)
Damn it!
46.
Danica goes into the park. She sneaks behind a tree.
DANICA (CONT'D)
I gotta do something... but what?
One of the men bumps the Pretty Lady on her shoulder. As she
gets a nervous look on her face, two of them get in front of
her and block her way. She tries to walks away but becomes
encircled.
THUG SLIM grabs the Pretty Lady by the chin and stares
salaciously into her eyes.
THUG SLIM
Did anyone ever tell you how pretty
your eyes are?
PRETTY LADY
Don’t even think about it buster.
The Pretty Lady knees Thug Slim in testes. She turns to run.
The men push her back into an irate Thug Slim who smacks her
hard across the face, putting her to the ground.
Danica comes out from behind the tree. Angry, she puffs out
her chest as she walks toward the men.
The Angel drops down from the sky. Danica stops and gets back
behind the tree. The Angel grabs two of the men and throws
them back. He gets into the circle and swings his arms out to
the sides, knocking out the others.
He marches toward the only one left, Thug Slim.
THUG SLIM
Who the hell are --
The Angel kicks Thug Slim back “300” style. Thug Slim flies
back and crashes out cold into a bench. The Angel helps the
Pretty Lady off the ground.
THE ANGEL
Are you hurt?
PRETTY LADY
(Spanish)
I’m fine. Thank you.
Danica looks in awe, her jaw hangs low.
DANICA
No way, man...
47.
The Angel flies up and disappears. The Pretty Lady puts her
hands over her chest. She is completely stunned.
INT. CALI HOUSE - MAIN FOYER - DAY
Danica is sitting on the front steps of the stairs when

Johnny enters.
JOHNNY
Oh hey, Danica. What’re you doing
on the stairs?
Danica just gives him silence.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Are you okay?
DANICA
How long have we known each other
for?
JOHNNY
A couple years?
DANICA
And you like me, right?
JOHNNY
Yeah.
Danica stands.
DANICA
I’m not talking about as a friend.
She gets closer to Johnny.
JOHNNY
Uh... Do I have to answer that?
DANICA
If you love somebody you tell them
the truth. You don’t hide secrets --
even if you don’t think they can’t
handle it.
Johnny tries changing the subject.
JOHNNY
(stammering)
...So! That Cornelius! What a go-
getter!
(MORE)
48.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
You know he got that job as manager
at the pizzeria. In fact that’s why
he’s not here right now. Yep, he’s
working late. Oh boy! What a hard
worker! Don’t you think he’s a hard
worker, Danica?
DANICA
Don’t try and change the subject.
I’m trying to talk to you.
JOHNNY
What is it you want from me?
Danica gets really close to Johnny.
DANICA
You and me, Johnny. We have
something -- but we can’t get to it
because there’s a wall. A big brick
wall between the two of us. And you
put it up there... Why?
JOHNNY
You know a wall is for protection,
right?
DANICA
Johnny! Tell me the truth!
JOHNNY
Alright! I’ll tell you the truth...
I’m a homosapien. I like guys.
There! Are you happy now?
DANICA
Johnneeeee! Be serious!
JOHNNY
Danica, please. You’re putting me
in a tight spot.
DANICA
I know where those feathers come
from. They’re not from your pillow.
Johnny turns his back, he bites on his finger.
INT. CALI HOUSE - DANICA’S ROOM - DAY
Johnny and Danica are standing by the window. It’s wide open.
49.
JOHNNY
If I show you, Danica... You can’t
tell anybody about this.
DANICA
I promise.
Johnny steps back. He runs forward and leaps out the window.
Danica looks outside, leaning down. She can only see the
BACKYARD DECK.
DANICA (CONT'D)
Johnny?
Danica hears a WHOOSH. She looks up. Her eyes follow the
ANGEL as he descends in front of her.
ANGEL
Whaddaya think?
Danica touches the Angel, gently stroking his feathers.
DANICA
Oh my God.
ANGEL
I’m sorry I had to hide this from
you for so long.
DANICA
It’s okay.
ANGEL
I just wanna be normal like
everyone else. I don’t wanna be the
nail that sticks out on the board.
I don’t wanna be the freak with
wings.
DANICA
Why would they call you a freak?
You’re a hero.
ANGEL
I’m not a hero. A hero is a
fireman. A hero is a scientist. A
hero is a doctor. A hero is an
ordinary person who fights
extraordinary odds. Me? Uh-uh. I
got these powers. And if I didn’t
have ‘em, what would I be doing?
The answer would not make me a
hero.
50.
DANICA
You’re too hard on yourself,
Johnny... And why don’t you wear a
mask? You know if you wore a mask
we wouldn’t be in this awkward
situation.
ANGEL
Superman doesn’t wear a mask.
DANICA
You can’t compare yourself to
Superman, he’s a fictional
character.
ANGEL
I tried the mask, Danica. It’s
sweaty, it’s sticky and it blocks
my vision. I am NOT wearing a mask.
Danica looks at the Angel. She smiles and puts her leg out
the window.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
Hey what’re you --
EXT. CALI HOUSE - BACKYARD - NIGHT
Danica goes outside and steps on the Angel’s feet. She wraps
her arms around his waist.
ANGEL
Oh, I see.
DANICA
I know you don’t have a car right
now, but why don’t you take me for
a spin?
The Angel rises up into the air.
EXT. SKY - NIGHT
Danica looks down as she hangs onto the Angel. She looks down
and squeals, both excited and scared.
DANICA
Everything looks so small from up
here.
51.
ANGEL
I know.
The Angel wraps his wings around Danica as she hugs him
tightly.
EXT. DEATH VALLEY - NIGHT
A dark moving-truck leads a suspicious looking caravan over a

large dune. They stop on a flat bed of sand where all of the
skinheads come out with shovels: Bernard, Thief #1 and
Thief #2, Kriepenztop, and the miscellaneous others.
They look at each other for a moment, then start voraciously

digging into the desert at a seemingly random point. As sand
flies over the shoulders of the skinheads, these neo-Nazis,
something begins to uncover.
It looks like a handle of some sort.
BERNARD
Stand back.
The skinheads stand back. Bernard grabs the handle. He pulls

it out, revealing the item buried underneath the sand to be a
long ornate metal coffin. It has two long poles attached to
it like a palanquin.
BERNARD (CONT'D)
Get it into the truck.
Eight men hoist the coffin onto their shoulders. Kriepenztop

opens the back of the moving-truck. They put it inside and
shut the door.
EXT. SKINHEAD TAVERN - DAY
Through a FIRST PERSON VIEW, a man walks up to a skinhead

bar.
He tilts his head toward the sign above which reads,
“SSuds & Lager”
INT. SKINHEAD TAVERN - DAY
Still in FPV, the man enters the bar. The skinhead customers
look at him with bewilderment. As he moves past the people
playing pool and between the tables of drunks, every person
he meets eyes with seems to stop and stare.
52.
The man gets to the bar area at the end. He takes a seat on
one of the empty stools. The EVIL BARTENDER cleaning the
glasses in front of him pauses to look.
EVIL BARTENDER
...That is some costume, buddy.
The man puts his arm forward onto the counter. The Evil
Bartender’s eyes move along from his hand to his upper-arm
where there is a NAZI SYMBOL on his clothing.
From the Nazi Symbol his eyes continue to move over to the
man’s face, revealing the man to be -- Adolf HITLER.
EVIL BARTENDER (CONT'D)

What can I get yah?
NOTE: Hitler ONLY SPEAKS IN GERMAN, except where indicated.
HITLER
A pint of your finest German beer,
please.
EVIL BARTENDER
I’m sorry. Could you say that
again? I didn’t understand.
HITLER
(slowly)
A. Pint. Of. Your. Finest. German.
Beer.
EVIL BARTENDER
Uh?
Hitler violently bangs his fists down on the counter.
HITLER
(English)
BEER! BEER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT BEER
IS?!
EVIL BARTENDER
I don’t know you think you are, you
freak -- but if you pull that crap
again, I’m gonna kick your ass
outta this bar.
HITLER
That is no way to talk to your
führer -- YOU MUST BE DISCIPLINED!
53.
Hitler punches the Evil Bartender in his face, knocking him

flat to the ground. Then he jumps over the counter and starts
kicking him in the ribs.
A skinhead with a cue stick named BALDY, goes over to the bar
and confronts Hitler.
BALDY
Hey what the Frick is going on
here?!
Hitler stops kicking the Evil Bartender. He hops back over to

the other side, he walks toward Baldy with a grimace. Baldy
steps back... Then suddenly he swings his cue stick!
Hitler ducks and grabs the cue stick. He counters with a one-
two kick, causing Baldy to careen over in pain. At the same
time another skinhead comes up to Hitler, but this one is
a lot bigger and stronger; a real hulk of a man.
CRUSHER, he is holding a bottle of beer in his hand.
CRUSHER
That was my brother!
HITLER
The rat should’ve minded his own
business.
Crusher throws his beer bottle at Hitler. Hitler catches it

and takes a swig. He throws it back. As Crusher raises his
fist in anger, Hitler intercepts him and smashes off the cue
stick on his skull.
Hitler gives Crusher a heavy roundhouse kick, lifts him over

his head and throws him into a table... CRASH!
Everyone takes notice. They stand up and surround him in a

semi-circle. The MOOK in front points his finger.
MOOK
You can’t just come in here and
screw around with our bar!
HITLER
Is that so?
Hitler spits on the Mook’s shoes.
The Mook charges with the other skinheads behind him. Hitler
releases his fists of fury, he punches and kicks the on-
comers, knocking them out like Chuck Norris.
54.
The skinheads from the back get up and swarm in. One of them
lunges and gets around Hitler’s waist. Hitler clamps his
hands together and pounds down his fists. At the same time,
he dodges a haymaker; he grabs that skinhead and tosses him
aside like nothing.
After knocking off a couple more guys, Hitler marches forward

against a line of irate skinheads. He throws wild punches,
knocking each down as they try to attack. He gets to the end.
The last skinhead in the tavern cowers and falls down. He

leans back on his arms and shakes. Hitler dismisses the
“threat” with a wave of his hand, he walks past and simply
leaves.
EXT. QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD STREET - DAY
Johnny is whistling and walking down the sidewalk when he

sees TIMMY the little neighborhood boy looking up under a
tree.
TIMMY
(calling)
Heeeeere kitty, kitty, kitty!
Heeeeere kitty, kitty, kitty!
Heeeeere --
JOHNNY
Timmy?
TIMMY
(turns)
Oh! Hello, Mr. Johnny-sir! How’s
your vacation going? The weather’s
real swell in californee, huh?
JOHNNY
Yes, uh... Now what is going on
here?
TIMMY
Oh, my kitty cat is up in the tree.
Johnny looks up into the tree. The cat sitting on the branch
meows.
TIMMY (CONT'D)
Can yah help me get ‘im down?
JOHNNY
I guess I’m not too busy... Sure,
I’ll do it!
55.
Johnny rolls up his sleeves and gets into the tree. As he

starts climbing up the cat begins to scuttle away, going
higher up through the branches.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
No, no, no, nooo -- don’t go up
higher!
TIMMY
...Are you sure you know what
you’re doing?
JOHNNY
I’ve been getting cats outta trees
since before you were in the womb,
boy!
A CRAZY GUY appears behind Timmy. He looks up at the tree.
CRAZY GUY
What’re we looking at here?
TIMMY
My kitty cat’s stuck in the tree.
CRAZY GUY
Aw, that’s easy to solve! Yah just
gotta scare ‘im out!
The Crazy Guy takes a pistol and points up. Timmy looks.
TIMMY
What’re you doing?
CRAZY GUY
Trust me. I’m an expert.
Up in the tree, Johnny gets to the kitten.
JOHNNY
(beckoning)
Come on little fella, don’t be
scared.
As the kitten jumps into Johnny’s arm, a bullet bounces off a

tree branch... PANG!
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
What was --
Another bullet... PANG!

56.
Johnny looks down, sees the Crazy Guy. BELOW the tree Timmy
is pulling on the Crazy Guy’s shooting arm, trying to stop
him.
TIMMY
Stop! You’re gonna kill my kitty
cat!
CRAZY GUY
Success is too close for us to stop
now!
Crazy Guy shoots one more bullet. A SNAPPING noise is heard.

Johnny suddenly falls to the ground. He lays on his back with
the kitten in his arms and a broken branch beside.
CRAZY GUY (CONT'D)

See! We did it! Scared ‘em right
out!
Timmy grabs his kitten and hugs it.
TIMMY
Oh! Mr. Fluffy! I was so worried!
Johnny gets up.
CRAZY GUY
I must be going now!
The Crazy Guy leaves.
TIMMY
Thanks so much for helping me out,
Mr. Johnny-sir! I really appreciate
it, I really do!
JOHNNY
(rubbing head)
Sure. No problem.
Johnny’s CELL-PHONE rings. He reaches into his pocket and

picks it up.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Hello?
57.
CUTAWAY TO - CHURCH LIBRARY
Father Fullerton is on the phone, at the same time looking at

the IRONIC DAILY NEWSPAPER in his hand with a photo of Hitler
on the front which reads,
“Hitler Impersonator Wreaks Havoc”
FULLERTON
Johnny. It’s Father Fullerton,
where’ve you --
Fullerton suddenly SNEEZES and drops the paper to the floor.

A little green hand reaches out and grabs it.
JOHNNY (VO)
Bless you.
GOBBY the Imp stretches his arm and gives the paper back to
Fullerton.
FULLERTON
Thank you.
RETURN TO SCENE
The PHONE conversation continues.
JOHNNY
...So what’s up?
FULLERTON (VO)
I want you to meet with some people
today.
Johnny sits under the tree.
JOHNNY
Like who?
FULLERTON (VO)
A friend of mine, Rabbi Rabinowitz.
JOHNNY
That’s a catchy name.
FULLERTON (VO)
Yes. I suppose.
JOHNNY
So why do you want me to meet with
him? Isn’t he Jewish? Obviously...
58.
FULLERTON (VO)
The organization extends beyond the
Vatican. There are all types of
religious groups who help us
protect the world against evil...
After all we’re all in the same
boat.
JOHNNY
Right.
FULLERTON (VO)
I’ll text you the location of the
synagogue.
JOHNNY
Okay, and you said I’d be meeting
with ‘people.’ Who are these other
people?
FULLERTON (VO)
He’s a young fellow about your age.
Very intelligent and sharp. He’s
going to help you out.
JOHNNY
I don’t need help.
FULLERTON (VO)
Johnny, you got a good heart -- but
you’re clumsy and you’re goofy. You
need some help.
JOHNNY
Gee, thanks for being so gentle.
FULLERTON
Just go to the synagogue and see
Rabinowitz, alright?
JOHNNY
What’s it about?
FULLERTON
He’ll fill you in.
EXT. SYNAGOGUE - DAY
Johnny goes into the synagogue.

59.
INT. SYNAGOGUE - DAY
He slowly walks between the rows of seats; looking around,

awestruck by the ornate architecture and beauty.
At the front there is a person sitting alone at the end of a

bench, perusing through what appears to be the Jewish Bible,
or as it is commonly known, the Tanakh.
As Johnny moves closer, the details of the man start to

become familiar. Only a few feet away he recognizes him.
It’s his best friend, Cornelius!
JOHNNY
(looking)
What the? Cornelius!
Cornelius turns to Johnny; puts down the Tanakh.
CORNELIUS
Johnny! Shalom! Mazal tov!
JOHNNY
Mazal -- wha’?
CORNELIUS
It means ‘good luck’ in Hebrew.
JOHNNY
Oookay... What’re you doing here?
You’re not Jewish are you? Because
that would great. Having a faith,
going back to your roots, I mean --
CORNELIUS
No, no, no. I’m still an atheist.
I’m just here to meet someone.
JOHNNY
Oh. Same here.
CORNELIUS
Really?
JOHNNY
I guess it’s just a coincidence.
CORNELIUS
That’s cool with me.
60.
RABINOWITZ (OS)
Johnny! Is that you?
Rabbi RABINOWITZ appears. Johnny and Cornelius turn their

attention toward him.
RABINOWITZ (CONT'D)
(walking)
It is a pleasure to meet you! And I
see you’ve already met your
partner!
JOHNNY
Rabbi Rabinowitz, I don’t think we
should be talking about this here.
Johnny tilts his head pointing to Cornelius.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
If you get my drift.
RABINOWITZ
No, it’s okay! No secrets required!
It’s only me, you, and your partner
here!
JOHNNY
(looking around)
I don’t see anybody here except for
you, me, and my friend Cornelius,
I...
Rabinowitz joins Johnny and Cornelius by the benches. He

points at Cornelius.
RABINOWITZ
Yes. This is him. This is your
partner.
Johnny looks at Cornelius with disbelief.
JOHNNY
What? You’re kidding me.
RABINOWITZ
I tell no jokes.
JOHNNY
But, but he’s an atheist.
61.
RABINOWITZ
I know, but he’s good. We need him.
He’s the best ancient weapon and
relics expert around.
JOHNNY
(to Cornelius)
Waaait a minute! You mean to say
you knew about me this whole time?
CORNELIUS
You tried so hard to keep your
secret. I just didn’t wanna spoil
it for you. All that effort.
Johnny is mortified, he rubs his forehead like he’s getting a

headache.
JOHNNY
Oh my God...
RABINOWITZ
Are you over your shock now? Can I
tell you what to do?
JOHNNY
Alright, I’m listening.
RABINOWITZ
There is a crisis going on.
Important relics from around the
world are going missing. Some more
important than others. But the big
thing is the bread of the Last
Supper, which went missing a couple
days ago.
JOHNNY
What’s so big about it?
CORNELIUS
It can be used to resurrect the
deceased.
RABINOWITZ
And we also believe they have
obtained the book of the dead.
JOHNNY
Are they connected?
62.
RABINOWITZ
We believe so. We think they might
be resurrecting someone who can
translate the book.
JOHNNY
And if it’s translated?
RABINOWITZ
We’re not sure.
CORNELIUS
Either way it’s gotta be something
bad. Weren’t those items stolen by
skinheads?
RABINOWITZ
Yes. Those manure-eating Nazi
bastards.
JOHNNY
...So what do you want us to do?
RABINOWITZ
Find out what’s going on. Try to
stop it.
EXT. FIELD - NIGHT
The skinheads are gathered around in a large grassy field.

They are mesmerized, watching Hitler on stage, making an
impassioned speech of 100% pure evil. He is standing behind a
podium plastered with the swastika on front.
HITLER
More than 60 years ago, I tried to
take over the world. I tried to
build Germany into the great empire
that it deserved to be. But I
ultimately failed. The reason why --
I WAS NOT TOUGH ENOUGH! I held
back! I restrained myself! But now
that I have returned and learnt my
lessons -- WE WILL HAVE A NEW WORLD
ORDER!
The skinheads cheer.
HITLER (CONT'D)
No mercy for anyone! Death to every
vile insect who stands in our way!
(MORE)
63.
HITLER (CONT'D)
EITHER YOU ARE WITH US OR YOU ARE
AGAINST US!
The skinheads cheer some more. Hitler lifts the Book of the
Dead above his head.
HITLER (CONT'D)
Once I have translate this book we
will rule ONCE AGAIN!
More cheering. Saluting. SOME SKINHEAD shouts out.
SOME SKINHEAD (OS)

Heil Hitla!
EXT. HILLTOP OVERLOOKING FIELD - NIGHT
The skinhead gathering is being watched through BINOCULARS.
JOHNNY (OS)
Is that really him?
CORNELIUS (OS)
He’s got the moustache.
Johnny puts down his binocular. He and Cornelius are on the

hilltop, sheltered behind a rock, carefully watching the
gathering.
JOHNNY
I dunno if this is such a good
plan.
CORNELIUS
Don’t wuss out on me now.
Cornelius picks up a longbow from the ground and loads in an

arrow.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
We have to kill him.
Cornelius aims the longbow.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
He’s a big jerk.
JOHNNY
Gee, that’s an understatement.
CORNELIUS
Okay. Quiet. I need concentration.
64.
Cornelius puts HITLER INTO HIS SIGHT.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Here we go...
Bernard appears on the hilltop beside Johnny. He grimaces and

growls in a low tone.
JOHNNY
Uh, Cornelius?
CORNELIUS
(aiming bow)
In a second!
Johnny throws a punch at Bernard. Bernard catches his fist

and gives him a head-butt. Johnny stumbles back and falls
onto Cornelius.
The longbow lets go of the arrow and shoots.
EXT. FIELD - NIGHT
Hitler gestures wildly with his arms on stage.
HITLER
Now is the time to act! We must
gather our resources and --
The arrow lands on stage, between Hitler’s boots... THUNK!
Hitler and the skinheads turn around and look up at the

hilltop. They see Cornelius, Johnny, and Bernard rustling
around.
Cornelius rushes toward Bernard, he winds up and throws a

haymaker. Bernard blocks and retaliates with a gut punch, and
a pounding elbow smash on the back.
Cornelius falls to the ground unconscious. Bernard kicks him

away like nothing, rolling him off elsewhere.
JOHNNY
You son of a.... AGHHHHH!
Johnny charges at Bernard.

65.
EXT. FIELD - NIGHT
Hitler grabs an RPG launcher from behind the podium. He jumps

into the crowd. The skinheads part and clear a path. Hitler
gets on bended knee and looks through the sight, aiming at
the hilltop.
Johnny attacks Bernard with a heavy left and right hook

punch. Bernard counters with a sharp jab to his chin. Johnny
falls to the ground -- but he gets back up.
BERNARD
You don’t know when to lay down do
you?
JOHNNY
Persistence is the key to success!
Johnny strikes at Bernard with a straight punch followed by

spinning back fist. But Bernard just shakes it off. He grabs
Johnny by the skull and gives him one, two, THREE punches!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Johnny staggers back.
Bernard runs at him and gives a super upper-cut!
Johnny flies up and falls to the ground... THUD! Bernard

jumps on top of him, placing a hand around his throat. He
squeezes Johnny’s face red.
BERNARD
I’m going to make this very
painful...
As Bernard raises his fist an EXPLOSION knocks him back.
EXT. FIELD - DAY
Hitler looks out from behind his RPG launcher.
HITLER
Shit! I missed!
66.
Johnny picks up Cornelius. He spreads out his wings and

transforms into the Angel as another RPG hits the ground and
explodes.
The Angel glares out below.
ANGEL
We’ll be back...
He zooms off into the sky.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY
Johnny and Danica stand around Cornelius who is in a coma,

hooked up to a medica ventilator.
JOHNNY
This is all my fault... I caused
this.
DANICA
How is it your fault? What did you
have to do with it?
JOHNNY
We... work together. You know what
I’m talking about, Danica...
DANICA
He’s part of it too?
JOHNNY
They told me I had to take him
along.
DANICA
How could you, Johnny? He doesn’t
have the same abilities as you. You
knew he would get hurt.
JOHNNY
They said he was the best!
Cornelius’ eyes open. He speaks with a raspy voice.
CORNELIUS
I am the best.
67.
DANICA
(surprised)
Cornelius!
Danica hugs Cornelius.
CORNELIUS
Ugh, too tight.
DANICA
Sorry.
She lets go.
JOHNNY
(annoyed and relieved)
You -- you were listening this
whole time weren’t you?
CORNELIUS
I liked when you said I was
awesome.
JOHNNY
I’m so sorry about what happened.
CORNELIUS
I’m okay, man. There’s no need to
get all emotional. I’m fine. It
comes with the territory.
DANICA
Who did this to you?
CORNELIUS
The Nazis.
DANICA
Nazis??
CORNELIUS
The skinheads.
JOHNNY
They’re planning on something big.
Some kind of new world order.
DANICA
That sounds serious.
CORNELIUS
You don’t know the half of it.
68.
INT. UNDERGROUND LAIR - DAY
Hitler sits by a table reading the BOOK OF THE DEAD in his

underground lair, a cold devoid place, with dark colors, and
uninspired decor. The very opposite of his vision for what he
believes Nazism should be.
He mumbles to himself while taking notes.
HITLER
Under the solar eclipse is when the
ritual should be performed... It is
then when the earth will tremble
and the beast will arise... For a
thousand years world will be --
Kriepenztop suddenly appears in front of Hitler.
KRIEPENZTOP
(interrupts)
WHAT’RE YOU DOING THERE ADOLF?!
Almost got the book of the dead
translated, hmm?
HITLER
I’m sorry. I cannot hear you. Would
you please come a little closer?
Kriepenztop gets closer to Hitler.
KRIEPENZTOP
Are you almost done translating the
book?
HITLER
I still cannot hear you. Come
closer.
Kriepenztop gets even closer.
HITLER (CONT'D)
Closer.
He leans in. Hitler grabs his ear and twists it.
HITLER (CONT'D)
DON’T INTERRUPT ME!
KRIEPENZTOP
Augh! Let go! Let go!
69.
Hitler lets go of Kriepenztop. He stumbles back and props

himself up against a wall.
HITLER
Prepare the men for the Blitzkrieg.
Kriepenztop rubs his reddened ear.
EXT. STREETS OF LA - DAY
A small group of people WATCH THE TELEVISIONS in the

electronics shop.
There is a female NEWS REPORTER standing with a mic in front

of a camera, reporting about the SKINHEAD RALLY taking place
behind her.
The skinheads have placards with vicious vitriolic

statements, offensive to all races, religions and types of
people.
NEWS REPORTER
What makes this skinhead, slash,
Nazi rally so incredible -- is the
complete and utter ignorance of the
contributions of immigrants and
peoples of other races.
The news camera zooms in on a placard which reads,
“Go Home You Native Indians!!!”
Turning away from the electronics shop we go over to the

actual event which is taking place live only a few feet
away...
The News Reporter stops SOME SKINHEAD to speak with him.
NEWS REPORTER (CONT'D)

Excuse me sir, could you tell me
what this rally is really all
about?
SOME SKINHEAD
It’s about showing the world who we
are and what we’ve done for
society. This country is ours! It
belongs to the white people! We
made place what it is!
(Nazi Salute)
Heil Hitla!
70.
NEWS REPORTER
(whispers)
What an idiot.
The skinheads march past the News Reporter. They’re being

carefully watched by Policemen.
The CHIEF of police wanders along the street and accidentally

bumps into the News Reporter.
CHIEF
Excuse me.
The News Reporter grabs the Chief on the shoulder.
CHIEF (CONT'D)
Chief Fandino! Could we talk for a
minute?
The Chief turns to the Camera and stands face to face with
the News Reporter.
CHIEF (CONT'D)
Okay. Just make it quick.
NEWS REPORTER
...What are you doing here?
CHIEF
What else? I love Hitler.
NEWS REPORTER
Are you serious?
CHIEF
(folds arm)
What do you think?
NEWS REPORTER
You know even for a joke that’s not
funny.
CHIEF
So sue me, I’m not much of a
comedian.
Suddenly a COMMOTION of noise captures the attention of the

cameraman. He turns away from the News Report and Chief and
focuses on the rally where the skinheads are turning violent.
They’re throwing rocks and various debris, anything they can

pick up, at the line of riot control officers behind their
shields.
71.
CHIEF (OS) (CONT'D)

Aw crap...
The skinheads move forward against the officers, increasing

with agitation. A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL is thrown. It shatters
onto one of the men, setting him on fire. He screams as he
drops his shield. He falls to the ground and rolls out the
flames.
The Chief grabs the News Reporter by the hand.
CHIEF (CONT'D)
Come on, it’s not safe here!
He drags her along, presumably somewhere safe.
CHIEF (OS) (CONT'D)

Release the tear gas!
The officers launch canisters of tear gas into the crowd. The
skinheads get shrouded in smoke.
EXT. ROOFTOP OVERLOOKING STREETS OF LA - DAY
Danica stands behind the Angel as he perches on the edge of a

roof looking down below. All he can see his smoke.
DANICA
I don’t understand why they’re
holding a protest. What’re they
protesting?
ANGEL
...It’s a ruse.
A PANZER IV rolls onto the street below.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
They staged the rally to get
through the street. It’s a
distraction.
The Angel spots Hitler -- or what appears to be Hitler --

manned in the tank hatch.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
There he is!
The Angel jumps down.
DANICA
Wait!
72.
EXT. STREETS OF LA - DAY
The Angel lands on the Panzer IV and grabs Hitler by the

collar.
ANGEL
Game over Hit --
But finds it is only dummy, a Hitler look-alike.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
What the?
Another Panzer IV appears from behind. It swings its turret

and aims its cannon. Before the Angel can even half-contort a
look of shock, the REAL HITLER smiles as a SHELL SHOOTS OUT
slow-mo.
It explodes and pushes the Angel into the smoke, where the
two Panzer IVs then disappear into.
EXT. ROOFTOP OVERLOOKING STREETS OF LA - DAY
Danica covers her mouth in shock.
EXT. STREET OF LA - DAY
The two Panzer IVs come out on the OTHER SIDE of the teargas
cloud. They go straight and pause in front of a large white
stoney building -- a MUSEUM.
EXT. STREETS OF LA - MUSEUM - DAY
The Panzer IVs move up the steps.
INT. MUSEUM - DAY
The Panzer IVs crash through the front. Broken glass and
metal spritzes across the wooden floor.
Hitler and his men -- which include Kriepenztop, Thief #1 and

Thief #2 -- get out of their tanks. Hitler leads them ahead
through a long corridor filled with various curiosities. The
group gets to the end.
There is a golden mechanical STOPWATCH resting on a velvet

pillow in a tall glass case.
73.
There is an inscription on the front which reads,
“Tesla’s Chronometer”
Hitler takes out a LUGER P08 and pulls on the toggle joint.
He fires at the case, shattering the glass. He grabs the
stopwatch and declares...
HITLER
Time to go!
As Hitler and his men begin to leave, the Angel -- with his
now charred hair and burnt wings -- is seen following,
cautiously skulking between the museum displays.
He sneaks behind a life-size figure of a Teutonic Knight
ANGEL
(whispers to Knight)
Forgive me for breaking the 8th
commandment, but I really need
this.
And “borrows” its sword and belt.
When Hitler is within close proximity, the Angel jumps out

with a warrior’s scream. He swings the Knight’s sword, but
Hitler avoids the attack.
So he tries again.
Hitler quickly presses his stopwatch. The Angel becomes

frozen midway in his assault -- almost as if time has
stopped.
HITLER
(looking, amazed)
It works...
THIEF #1
It’s a time stopper.
THIEF #2
Then why aren’t we frozen too?
HITLER
It knows... It knows what I want.
KRIEPENZTOP
Let’s kill ‘im already!
Kriepenztop takes out a pistol and points it at the Angel. As

he squeezes the trigger, Hitler double presses his stopwatch.
Kriepenztop and the bullet freeze midair.
74.
Hitler pushes the bullet aside, it drops to the ground.
HITLER
It’s not that easy to kill an
Angel.
THIEF #2
Shall we attack at another time?
Hitler nods. Thief #2 picks up Kriepenztop. The skinheads

leave. We hear the sound of the Panzer IVs exiting the
museum.
The Angel suddenly unfreezes. He collapses to the ground and

gasps for air, like he’s been under water.
INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - DAY
Cornelius zooms down the hallway in a WHEELCHAIR.
CORNELIUS
Gangway!
With a big grin on his face he maneuvers around the

orderlies. They gasp at his audacious behavior.
Cornelius spins around a nurse.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
See yah nurse!
Then a doctor.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
See yah doctor!
He looks ahead and grabs the side of the two big wheels to
stop. A pair of bodies, a middle-aged man and woman, step in
his way -- his parents -- Mr. McQueen and Mrs. McQueen.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Hey...
MR. MCQUEEN
We’ve come here to take you home.
CORNELIUS
Oh -- great! Maybe we can stop off
for a couple burgers on the way.
Lemme tell you something, the
hospital food is just as bad as the
airplane food.
75.
MR. MCQUEEN
We’re not going to stop for food.
CORNELIUS
Why not?
INT. HOSPITAL ELEVATOR - DAY
Mr. McQueen and Mrs. McQueen stand beside Cornelius in his

wheelchair.
MRS. MCQUEEN
Your father and I are taking a
break from each other.
CORNELIUS
What?
MR. MCQUEEN
You and I, and your sister, will be
heading back to New York next week.
CORNELIUS
No... No! Everything was working
out so great! What’s wrong with you
two?! Can’t you even get along?!
MRS. MCQUEEN
Don’t get upset, honey. We just
gotta work some things out. That’s
all.
CORNELIUS
Can’t you work these things out
while living together? I don’t
understand why you have to be so
‘separated.’ I mean, why? What’s
the point?
MR. MCQUEEN
Son. You’re an adult. You should
understand these things by now.
CORNELIUS
Is it me? Is that it? I’ve been
real immature about things, haven’t
I? But, but you know what? I can
change. NAY! I will change! From
this day forward it’s a new,
Cornelius McQueen!
76.
MR. MCQUEEN
Son! You were an accident.
MRS. MCQUEEN
(whispers)
What’re you doing, Gerald?
MR. MCQUEEN
Mariam. He has to know. He has to
grow up.
(to Cornelius)
Cornelius. Your mother and I did
not meet in college. We met in a
bar. One too many drinks... and to
make a story short, you were
conceived in a bathroom.
CORNELIUS
Dad, this isn’t funny.
MR. MCQUEEN
I’m not trying to be funny... You
were a mistake, Cornelius. Your
mother and I stayed together
because of you. That’s the only
reason why we’re here.
CORNELIUS
Oh screw off.
The elevator doors open. Cornelius bursts out and wheels

himself into the lobby, rushing to leave.
MRS. MCQUEEN
Cornelius! Come back!
EXT. HOSPITAL - DAY
Cornelius hops down a ramp in his wheelchair and rolls along

the sidewalk.
CORNELIUS
(grumbling, mumbling)
They think they’re so -- argh! I
don’t need them. I don’t need those
people. I’m just fine on my own.
Yeah! I’ll go solo. That’s what
I’ll do, I’ll...
He stops when he hears the sound of old-timey airplanes. Very

close. Getting increasingly loud.
77.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Why do I hear the sound of Bf 109s?
Those are from world war --
ZHRRRRRRRRR!
A Bf 109 flies past Cornelius. The wind from it knocks him

back. Three more of the same planes follow.
EXT. SKY - DAY
The Bf 109s are travelling in a diamond formation over the

city of Los Angeles. Hitler is in front, leading:
Kriepenztop, Thief #1, and Thief #2.
INT. HITLER’S PLANE - DAY
Hitler addresses his men over the radio.
HITLER
How is everyone doing?
INT. THIEF #1’S PLANE - DAY
Thief #1 gives a thumbs-up.
THIEF #1
Ready.
So does Thief #2.
THIEF #2
Ready.
INT. KRIEPENZTOP’S PLANE - DAY
Kriepenztop scratches his head.
KRIEPENZTOP
...What’s the plan again?
Hitler growls over the radio.
HITLER (VO)
Shut up and follow my lead.
78.
EXT. SKY - DAY
All four planes swoop down.
INT. CALI HOUSE - DANICA’S ROOM - DAY
Danica is asleep in bed wearing large D.J. style headphones.
INT. CALI HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - DAY
Johnny is in front of a mirror with his sword. He twirls it

around and holds it at the neck of an imaginary opponent.
JOHNNY
I’m sending you back to hell! Yaw!
Then he makes a slicing noise and moves the blade across --

decapitating.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
Now your head is on the floor!
What’re you gonna do, Hitler?!
Johnny’s CELL-PHONE rings. He puts his sword away into his

sheath and picks it up.
JOHNNY (CONT'D)
(on phone)
Hello? Yeah. I’m on my way. I’m
just getting some --
A loud WHRRRRRRRRR noise interrupts the conversation. Johnny

looks at the window and slowly moves toward it, following the
PLANE ENGINE SOUNDS which gets louder and louder.
FULLERTON (VO)
(filtered)
Johnny?
As he gets to the window, it shatters from a sudden hail of

bullets. Johnny falls to the floor and drops his cell-phone.
It slides across the floor and explodes from a hit.
The Bf 109 planes circle around the house like sharks.

79.
Hitler has an unsettling smile on his face.
HITLER
Come out and play, you treacherous
gentile!
The Angel rushes out through a window, he goes up into the

sky, followed by the four Bf 109s.
EXT. SKY - DAY
He climbs through the clouds with the planes close on his

tail. He tries to outmaneuver them by turning and weaving,
but the skinheads stick close by mimicking his every move.
The Angel in a straight chase, suddenly stops. He tucks into

a ball and rolls back. He withdraws his sword and as the
planes rush past underneath, he slices the wing off the back
Bf 109.
Kriepenztop and his plane fall into a twirling nosedive.
EXT. QUIET HOUSE - DAY
A man in a robe comes out his house. As he yawns and bends

down to pick up his newspaper, Kriepenztop’s Bf 109 crashes
and lands in front of him.
The man quietly goes back inside.
EXT. SKY - DAY
With three planes left, the Angel starts to pulls up. It

looks like he’s going into a loop, but before he completes
the move, he dives straight down.
He spins as he descends.
EXT. CAR TUNNEL - DAY
Hitler and the planes follow the Angel inside a tunnel.

80.
INT. CAR TUNNEL - DAY
They fly over the speeding cars, only inches above.
A cockpit view shows Hitler chasing the Angel.
HITLER
You’re mine!
He presses the gun trigger on his control stick.
INT. CAR TUNNEL - DAY
Bullets shoot out from underneath the wing of Hitler’s

airplane -- TAKA! TAKA! TAKA!
They barely miss the Angel, skinning him on his shoulders,

and spitting into the concrete walls beside.
EXT. BUNKER HILL - DAY
The Angel leads the Bf 109s out onto a street in Bunker Hill.
As he banks left at a large building the planes shoot and

knock out several panes of glass. The shards fall onto a
person below.
Down ANOTHER STREET into slow moving traffic, the Angel

swerves around a huge gas truck which a big sticker on the
back which reads,
“DANGER! HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE!”
The driver inside sticks his head out the window and looks at
the Angel; his eyes then shift to the side-view mirror where
he sees the oncoming planes.
He quickly sticks his head back inside as the side-view

mirror explodes from a bullet shot. The planes pass by at top
speed.
And the chase continues.
The Angel goes past a green traffic light, which suddenly

turns red for Hitler and the others. They blast it out,
causing a three way car crash.
81.
The Angel looks back. The planes are still on him. He CIRCLES
around a HIGH RISE BUILDING ‘till he takes the Bf 109s back
into the sky.
EXT. SKY - DAY
The Angel and flies up straight, fast as he can. The chasing

planes struggle in the vertical climb. Their engines sputter
like a beat up old truck.
They pop up through a cloud against a picturesque background

of a clear blue sky and a gleaming yellow sun.
Up here time seems to slow down...
Then suddenly Thief #1 and Thief #2’s Bf 109s stall out.
Thief #2 has a look of horror of his face as he listens to

the silence of his plane.
THIEF #2
Aw shit.
EXT. SKY - DAY
The two fall through the cloud below them and DROP DOWN in
unison.
Thief #1 screams as he spins around, trying to regain

control, pulling on his control stick.
THIEF #1
I can’t gain control!
EXT. SKY - DAY
As Thief #1 and Thief #2 descend together, their planes

violently smash into each other.
KABOOOOOM!
82.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD SIGN - DAY
The flaming remains of the two Bf 109s fall from the sky and
crash into the famous Hollywood Sign. One letter destroyed
for each airplane.
Two L’s gone spelling,
“HO YWOOD“
EXT. SKY - DAY
The Angel angles down as Hitler chases in his Bf 109,

shooting a steady stream of bullets.
Hitler’s moustache trembles as he laughs maniacally.
HITLER
You can’t escape, Angel!
EXT. MALL - DAY
The Angel descends toward the mall and smashes straight

through a piece of glass. Hitler follows him inside; his
plane just barely fitting into the building.
INT. MALL - DAY
The mall shoppers dive down as the Angel and Hitler’s plane
narrowly pass over them.
Hitler watches the Angel from inside.
INT. MALL - DAY
Hitler shoots at the Angel. As dozens of bullets travel

toward him, the Angel does a spinning move and deflects them
away with his wings.
The bits of metal scatter into the walls. One of them causes
a shopper to shriek when it pops her soda can.
83.
Hitler clenches his fist.
HITLER
Damn it!
INT. MALL - DAY
Hitler and the Angel fly toward the BRIDGE ahead.
As the Angel swoops underneath and gets to the other side,

Bernard suddenly appears from above and jumps down. He wraps
his SPIKED ARMS around the Angel’s neck and brings him face
down to the floor.
BERNARD
Miss me?
Hitler’s plane passes by and leaves.
ANGEL
Not really, no.
The Angel jumps up with Bernard on his back and smashes him
into the ceiling above.
SMASH!
The two separate and drop down to the floor. They jump to
their feet and face off. The Angel charges at Bernard. He
throws a pair of wild punches, each which miss.
Bernard pulls his arm back, his spikes grow longer. He swings
forward and knocks the Angel into the air. The Angel lands in
front of a bench, in front of a cuddling couple. He looks at
them.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
I think you better get out of here.
The couple get off the bench and flea.
The Angel gets up as Bernard marches toward him. He takes out

his sword and stands in a real Samurai pose; blade held high,
back of the body, ready to defend.
BERNARD
You think that silly little sword
is gonna help you?
84.
ANGEL
Let’s find out.
Bernard lunges at the Angel with a spinning back fist. The

Angel bows forward and dodges the attack.
Bernard goes into a mad rage, swinging his arms with a wild
vigor. But the Angel blocks every strike with his sword. The
metal clashes against his thick bony spikes.
KLANG! KLANG! KLANG!
Bernard slips one over the Angel and batters him in the face.
Then he quickly pulls back his arms and thrusts forward with
a power U-punch -- a double fisted Karate move.
The Angel drops his sword and is thrown back. He tumbles

across the floor.
Bernard dashes forward and leaps into the air. Clenching his
fists together, he pounds down on the Angel as he is about to
get up. Then without mercy he grabs him by the top of his
skull head and holds him off the ground, punching with heavy
blows directly to the face.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
With glowing eyes, Bernard grabs the half-conscious Angel and

takes him by the body. He jumps up high and turns him upside
down, then slams him into the floor with a PILEDRIVER.
The dust on the ground circles out with the waves of energy.
Bernard lets go of the Angel who is now completely
unconscious. A crowd gathers around quietly.
Bernard picks up the Angel’s sword.
BERNARD
(mockingly)
Don’t forget your sword.
And places it back into his sheath. He swaggers away.
The Angel lies lifelessly in the rubble underneath his body.

As the crowd shuffles closer we slowly move away, ascending
directly above, seeing the life of the mall now subdued with
silence.
EXT. PLAINVIEW CEMETERY - DAY
As the sun goes down on a late afternoon...

85.
Carrying shovels, Rabbi Rabinowitz and two priests wearing

the Vatican Brigade lapel pin, walk over to a white unmarked
cross.
RABINOWITZ
I hope it’s not too late.
The three of them start digging into the pauper’s grave like
crazy. Rabbi Rabinowitz wipes the sweat above his thick brow.
RABINOWITZ (CONT'D)
This is taking too long.
Rabinowitz climbs out of the ditch. Priest PETER looks back.
PETER
Where’re you going? We don’t have
time!
RABINOWITZ
Take five!
The priests stop and rest. As they lean on their shovels the
soil begins to rumble, like a tank moving across the ground.
Rabinowitz returns with a DIGGER MACHINE.
The priests jump out as he lowers the scoop/bucket into the

ditch.
CUT TO:
EXT. PLAINVIEW CEMETERY - DAY
Rabinowitz and the two priests jimmy opens a cheap looking

coffin on the grass. Johnny is lying inside, all cold looking
and pale. His lips are blue.
PETER
(staring)
Look at this face -- he’s
completely dead. There’s no way we
can bring him back.
RABINOWITZ
Nobody truly dies, Peter. We just
move from place to place.
Rabinowitz sticks out his hand.
RABINOWITZ (CONT'D)
The holy water, please.
86.
The other priest hands Rabinowitz a bottle of holy water.

Rabinowitz unscrews it and opens Johnny’s mouth. He pours it
in. Nothing seems to be happening.
PETER
He’s not awakening. You said he
would awake.
RABINOWITZ
Patience...
Rabinowitz balls his hand into a fist and hammers down on

Johnny in the solar-plexus. Johnny awakes with a shock and
spits up the holy water onto the priests. He puts his hands
on the edges of the coffin. He breathes deeply like he’s
outta breath.
RABINOWITZ (CONT'D)
Shalom!
INT. HOLLYWOOD HOTEL - LOBBY - DAY
A hotel GUEST chit-chats with a CLERK at the FRONT DESK.
GUEST
(major lisp)
I’ll be honest with you. I really
thought Hollywood was gonna be a
little more exciting. I didn’t even
see any celebrities. Yeah okay, I
saw Paris Hilton -- but it was sooo
underwhelming. She just kept going
on about macroeconomics and how
global lending policies affect
developing nations. I had no idea
what she was talking about.
CLERK
I understand where you’re coming
from. Yah see the movies and yah
think the place where the movies is
made is gonna be just as exciting.
Well, that is where you tourists go
wrong. This is a place of business.
It’s all a big fricking illusion to
prop up the souvenir industry.
Nothing ever happens here. It’s
Dullsville, sir. You want
excitement? Go to Canada. I hear
those guys are completely crazy.
Why do you think they call their
money the loonie?
87.
GUEST
Welp, I got a week more here with
the family. Something is bound to
happen.
The Clerks slaps his hand on the desk and leans forward,
staring into the Guest’s eyes.
CLERK
NOTHING is going to happen.
The Clerk glances over his shoulder amidst the awkward

silence.
CLERK (CONT'D)
See?
The Guest backs away, disturbed.
GUEST
Oookay. I think I’ll be going now.
I, uh, have to -- use the ATM.
He heads toward the exit.
CLERK
You’re going the wrong way, man!
(points with thumb)
ATM’s back here!
GUEST
Uh -- no, it’s not!
The Clerk looks behind. There’s no ATM.
CLERK
Oh. He’s right. It’s not.
As the Guest gets closer to the exit, the revolving doors, a

Panzer IV tank suddenly CRASHES through the front. The Guest
falls to his bottom. He crawls away scared as Hitler,
Bernard, and his crew of skinheads enter the hotel.
THREE Security guards appear in front and point their guns.

The HEAD SECURITY GUARD screams.
HEAD SECURITY GUARD

Freeze!
Hitler and the skinheads look at each other like, “Is this a
joke?” Then they keep walking forward. The Head Security
Guard gets antsy.
88.
HEAD SECURITY GUARD (CONT'D)

I said, “FREEZE!”
He shoots his gun.
The bullet lodges into Bernard’s muscular shoulder. Hitler

and the skinheads stop. The whole place is silent, staring
quietly.
Bernard plucks the bullet out and flicks it to the floor. He

spikes up his arms and starts running toward the security
guards.
HEAD SECURITY GUARD (CONT'D)

Stay where you are!
Bernard swings out his arm and swats at the Head Security
Guard, sending him flying over the Clerk at the front desk.
Then, still in his charge, he clotheslines the next security
guard, causing him to spin in the air and fall to the ground
with a resounding THUD!
The last security guard, knees quivering, drops his gun and
tries to make a run for it. Bernard chases him down and grabs
him by the back of the neck.
BERNARD
Where do you think you’re going?!
He slams the security guard into the wall, killing him like
the others. Bernard turns to Hitler and salutes. Hitler
salutes back, then he and the skinheads continue, marching
past the front desk.
CLERK
...Enjoy your stay!
EXT. HOLLYWOOD HOTEL - ROOFTOP - DAY
Bernard and the skinheads stand behind Hitler as he looks out

over the city.
HITLER
Once we open the ninth circle of
hell, we will command the giants.
Hitler stamps his foot down.
HITLER (CONT'D)
The book!
89.
A skinhead standing in back hastily takes out the book of the

dead and passes it along to the front where they give it to
Hitler.
Hitler opens up the book. A mysterious wind starts to blow on

his face and the sky starts to darken.
HITLER (CONT'D)
(looking up)
Ah, and so it begins...
We see the sun as it goes into a SOLAR ECLIPSE; the day

turning into NIGHT.
CUT TO:
EXT. HOLLYWOOD HOTEL - ROOFTOP - NIGHT
Hitler reaches into his pocket and takes out Tesla’s

Chronometer. He presses the button on the stopwatch and
freezes the eclipse.
HITLER
(reciting to self)
Time is frozen for sun and the
moon. An eternal eclipse. We are
cast permanently into a time that
is neither day nor night. This is
when the giants of the underworld
may be summoned.
Hitler puts away his stop watch. He flips the pages of the
book of the dead and starts reading the hieroglyphics.
It is UNKNOWN what he is saying.
HITLER (CONT'D)
(gibberish)
I make the ultimate sacrifice! I
give to you, dear demon king, the
human race! It is yours! So rise
from the ground and feast! Lead us
to glory! From the heavens and the
deities, absorb this power! Earth
is waiting for your return! Come to
us! Let us be part of you! We
salute and give our obedience! Be
here for us! Do not make us wait!
Arise demon king! Arise demon
king!! Arise demon king!!!
90.
Suddenly the roof starts to shakes. The skinheads sway as

they try to keep standing... EARTHQUAKE!
MONTAGE - EARTHQUAKE:
EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - NIGHT
Houses rumbles from the earthquake. The ALARM on cars parked

outside go off.
INT. SUBURBAN HOUSE - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
A couple’s romantic dinner is interrupted when the room

starts to shake. They look up at their flickering chandelier,
swinging violently back and forth. The HUSBAND gives his wife
a cold stare.
HUSBAND
Get under the table!
The couple crawls under the table; cups and plates crash to
the floor.
EXT. PARK - NIGHT
Trees are falling down and being uprooted.
INT. PETSHOP - NIGHT
The animals stir inside their cages. They bark, meow, and caw
as the shop shakes and the fluorescent lights flicker.
INT. ANOTHER HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT
As cabinet doors swing open and dishes crash to the floor, a

family is huddled under a round wooden table.
The parents have their arms around their two children, a

young boy and YOUNG GIRL; one wearing a football helmet and
the other wearing a hockey helmet.
YOUNG GIRL
Eee! I’m scared!
The mom wraps her arm tighter around the Young Girl.
91.
EXT. BEACH - NIGHT
A toddler sits in front of his sand castle, watching it

vibrate as panic-stricken people run around screaming in the
background.
He seems pretty calm -- but when his castle suddenly falls he

bursts into tears. His mom jumps out in front and scoops him
up. She skitters away to take him to safety.
INT. OFFICE BUILDING - NIGHT
As the earthquake continues inside a seemingly abandoned

office floor, a WORKER inside a cubicle sticks out his head
from underneath his desk.
WORKER
Terry! For Chrissake! Get under
your desk!
At the cubicle across, a man named TERRY is working on his

computer.
TERRY
Hold on... I just gotta make one
last trade.
The fluorescent light above Terry pops. He jumps out of his

seat and scoots under his desk.
END MONTAGE.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD HOTEL - ROOFTOP - NIGHT
The rumbling fades and disappears. The skinheads stop bracing

against each other and stand up straight. Some Skinhead
remarks.
SOME SKINHEAD
It stopped.
Hitler hands off the book of the dead to a skinhead standing

nearby and walks over to the far edge of the roof. He bends
forward and looks down. He smiles as his face starts to glow
a melange of red and orange. Something is shining from below.
92.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD HOTEL - NIGHT
Hitler leads the skinheads outside to the front of the hotel.

There is a huge gaping hole with white steam billowing up,
from which a fiery light is shining.
HITLER
(staring scrumptiously)
The 9th circle is open...
Behind the steam is a silhouette of a MAN IN A BOWLER HAT,

which arises on a small platform of rock. He steps out and
reveals himself.
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

Hello!
Some Skinhead voices up.
SOME SKINHEAD
Who is that?
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

I have many names...
The Man In A Bowler Hat takes out a long cane and twirls it
around.
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT (CONT'D)

Mephisto. The Prince of Darkness.
Lucifer. El Diablo. The Fallen
Angel. The Devil... But my favorite
is Satan.
SOME SKINHEAD
You’re Satan? You don’t look very
powerful.
HITLER
(to Some Skinhead)
Shut up!
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

Relax, Adolf. It’s okay. It’s true.
I don’t look very powerful. But
right now I’m incognito. I’m not
Satan-mode yet.
BERNARD
...I don’t get it.
93.
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

Don’t get what?
BERNARD
Why doesn’t God just stop you? He’s
the Almighty is he not?
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

Yes! But he also believes in free
will! He believes humans will do
the right thing. He thinks he knows
what’s going to happen -- that’s
why he doesn’t intervene. But
personally I like to interfere. I
say if there is a destiny to be
made it should be shaped. I’m very
much a go-getter that way.
SOME SKINHEAD
What exactly is it you do, again?
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

I feed off man’s negativity. I
sustain myself through their
hatred, their selfishness, and
their anger. Every time someone is
violent, every time someone screams
and swears, every time someone goes
out of their way to make someone
else feel crummy -- I get stronger.
I use that strength to prepare for
Armageddon; the war against God.
Colloquially known as the end of
the world.
SOME SKINHEAD
I don’t want the world to end!
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

It’s just a nickname. Don’t take it
so seriously.
HITLER
Enough of this chitchat!
MAN IN A BOWLER HAT

Yes, Adolf! But before we begin, I
must ask a question... How many of
you think you are stronger than me?
Raise your hand. I know it’s a
weird question, but I’d like to
know.
94.
The Man In A Bowler Hat looks out. One person in the back
raises their hand.

Be honest.
The hand goes down.

Nobody, eh? Then I guess you’re all
of no use to me.
The Man In A Bowler Hat extends out his arm. A stream of red
fire comes out from his palm and disintegrates half of the
skinheads. Hitler stays calm as the others panic and run.

Only cowards run!
The Man In A Bowler Hat uses his other arm and disintegrates
the rest of the skinheads -- but he misses Bernard. Bernard
leaps up tries to escape.
The Man In A Bowler Hat makes a snatching motion with his

arm. He uses telekineses to seize Bernard in the air. Then he
makes a tight squeezing motion.
Bernard gags in pain. The Man In A Bowler Hat whips his arms
to the side. Bernard crashes through a building and
disappears.

People are so weak. Ain’t they --
The Man In A Bowler Hat looks to his side. Hitler is missing.

Hitler?
(snaps fingers)
Nuts. I knew shouldn’t have shown
off too much. Now he’s gone and
scared. Ah well! I’ll think I’ll
take a look around town.
The Man In A Bowler Hat puts his cane over his shoulder and
whistles “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” as he walks away.
EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT
A HIPSTER wearing sunglasses is parked by the curbside in his

convertible, tapping his steering wheel and listening to
music full-blast: “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC.
95.
HIPSTER
(singing along)
Don’t need reason! Don’t need
rhyme! Ain’t nothing I’d rather do!
Going down! Party time! My friend’s
are gonna be there too! I’m on the
highway to hell! On the highway to
hell! Highway to --
The Hipster suddenly stops singing and tapping his fingers.

He leans to the right and looks in his rearview mirror. There
is a pair of giant muscly red legs in the reflection of the
glass.
He turns around. A huge hoofed foot swings over his head and
crushes the front of his convertible... CRUNCH!
The music stops.
The Hipster takes off his sunglasses and stares down the
street, completely shocked.
INT. NEWS STUDIO - NIGHT
A NEWS ANCHOR is reporting the news behind a long desk,

speaking in front of a large window facing out onto the
street.
NEWS ANCHOR
Although astronomers and scientists
have not yet arrived at a
conclusion as to the cause of this
solar eclipse phenomenon; they do
however believe it is related to
the recent earthquake. Renown
physicist Stephen Hawking has
suggested that the world is ending
and for people to ‘panic, run amok
and go crazy.‘ BUT in spite of this
suggestion, Chief Fandino and the
Los Angeles Police Department is
advising its denizens to stay calm,
saying, ‘There is no reason to
panic. Everything is under control.
The situation is being examined.
There is no reason to panic.
Whatever you do, DO NOT panic.”
Personally, I --
A GUY IN SHORTS runs up to the window behind the News Anchor

and frantically bangs on the glass.
96.
GUY IN SHORTS
(interrupts)
Omigod! Get out of there! Run for
your lives!
The News Anchor turns around. A roaring swarm of people run

past the Guy In Shorts.
GUY IN SHORTS (CONT'D)

Move your ass, Katie Couric!
The Guy In Shorts turns to the side and looks up with horror.
He clumsily tries to back away, but the hand snatches him up
and pulls him away from the window.
He SCREAMS -- then stops as a bone CRUNCHING sound is heard.

His head bitten off; his body drops to the sidewalk.
The News Anchor spins on her chair and turns back to the
camera.
NEWS ANCHOR
...Did you get that?
EXT. HUMDRUM STREET - NIGHT
Three children on bicycles speed down the street. The trio,

consisting of two older brothers and a younger sister,
frantically pedal.
They get in front of a house.
EXT. HUMDRUM STREET - HUMDRUM HOUSE - NIGHT
The children ride up to the front door and drop their bikes.
The ELDEST BROTHER steps on the welcome mat and grabs the
doorknob. He twists the knob and pushes forward, but the door
doesn’t open.
ELDEST BROTHER
(realizes)
Keys!
The Eldest Brother rummages through his pockets. His LITTLE

SISTER glances back.
LITTLE SISTER
Hurry!
The Eldest Brother can’t find his keys.

97.
ELDEST BROTHER
I can’t find it!
The MIDDLE BROTHER chimes in.
MIDDLE BROTHER
The mat -- the mat, the mat!
The Eldest Brother steps off the welcome mat. He flips it

over and finds a key. He grabs it and shoves it into the
keyhole. He turns the doorknob and pushes open the door.
INT. HUMDRUM HOUSE - MAIN FOYER - NIGHT
The children run inside the main foyer and dash up the
stairs.
ELDEST BROTHER
Mom! Dad!
INT. HUMDRUM HOUSE - UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - NIGHT
They run to the end of the hallway and open the door to the
MASTER BEDROOM. They quick go in.
INT. HUMDRUM HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT
A middle-aged woman in a robe is resting on the bed with the

blinds closed. The Eldest Brother goes over to her and shakes
her.
ELDEST BROTHER
Mom! MOM!
MOM opens her eyes, still groggy.
ELDEST BROTHER (CONT'D)

Where is dad?!
MOM
Mm... Backyard mowing the lawn.
ELDEST BROTHER
At this time of the night?!
MOM
(yawns)
It’s not even seven o’clock.
The alarm clock on the night stand shows the time: 6:16 PM.
98.
ELDEST BROTHER
We have to get out of here!
MOM
Why?
LITTLE SISTER
There’s a monster chasing after us!
The Mom sits up and smiles.
MOM
Kids -- kids! How many times have I
told you? Monsters don’t exist.
MIDDLE BROTHER
Oh, I think they do.
The Mom stands up.
MOM
They’re just a figment of your
imagination.
The Mom goes over to the closet and opens it.
MOM (CONT'D)
See? There’s nothing in the closet.
She goes back to the bed and lifts up the sheets.
MOM (CONT'D)
There’s nothing under the bed.
She goes to the window and faces her kids.
MOM (CONT'D)
And there’s nothing lurking outside
your window.
Then she pulls open the blinds.
There’s a giant eye staring into the room. The children jump
back in horror, but the Mom doesn’t notice with her back
facing toward the window.
MOM (CONT'D)
See?
ELDEST BROTHER
Turn around, mom...
99.
The Mom slowly turns around. As the eye blinks at her, she
screams and faints.
EXT. HUMDRUM HOUSE - BACKYARD - DAY
The DAD of the Humdrum House happily hums to himself as he

mows the lawn.
ELDEST BROTHER (OS)

Dad! DAAAD!
The Dad stops and turns his head. He sees the three of his
children leaning out the window at the back of the house.

Get out of the backyard!
The Dad smiles and waves.

You are in serious danger!
He ignores his children and goes back to mowing.
The Eldest Brother slaps his forehead in frustration. As the

Dad mows the lawn, the ground suddenly begins to shake --
BABOOM, BABOOM, BABOOM.
The Dad pauses and holds onto his lawn mower.
SATAN, previously known as the “Man In A Bowler Hat”, swings

around the corner of the house and steps in front of him.
The Dad looks up at the gargantuan red monster from hell;

staring at his big curly horns and his fangs and his bright
glowing eyes.
His mouth goes agape and he lets go of his lawn mower. It

wheels forward and crashes through the wood fence ahead of
him.
The Little Sister screams out by the window.
LITTLE SISTER
Run, dad! Run!
The Dad snaps out his stupor and turns to run -- but trips on
a branch and falls to the ground.
Satan lifts up his foot; and as he is about to set it down,

the Angel swoops underneath last second and holds it back
with his arms.
100.
ANGEL
(struggling)
You better get out of here!
The Dad rushes to his feet and runs away.
The Angel starts to sink into the ground as Satan leans

forward trying to squish him.
The Angel holds up Satan’s foot with one arm and uses the
other to withdraw his sword. He uses it to pierce into
Satan’s hoof.
SCHIKT!
Satan roars as he reels from the pain. He stumbles back and

falls into the NEIGHBORING YARD... BABOOOOOM!
Car alarms go off, house lights flip on; people curiously

looking.
The Angel gets into a defensive position with his sword high
as Satan curls his back and arises from the ground.
Satan towers over the Angel and contorts his face.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
(low voice)
Come on...
Satan pulls back his arm. A fireball appears, floating in his

hand. He thrusts forward.
LOOKING INTO THE EYES of the Angel we see the fireball coming
down. Time seems to slow as the round fiery mass hovers
toward him.
EXT. SKY - NIGHT
Flaming like a meteor, the Angel pops up through a cloud.

With eyes shut he arcs over the eclipsed sun and starts to
drop down.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - EAST - NIGHT
The Angel falls from the sky and crashes into the asphalt. As
the flames extinguish from his body, Satan barrels down the
street and appears in front. He stamps down on the Angel
while he tries to get up.
STAMP! STAMP! STAMP!

101.
He steps back and rubs his hoof on the ground, like a bull
readying for another charge.
The Angel stands and stumbles as he tries to collect his

senses. He reaches by his waist for his sword -- which is
missing from its sheath.
ANGEL
(sees, realizes)
Aw, gee...
Satan bellows with a chuckle. Then he charges at the Angel

and sweeps him away with a low but powerful swing of the arm.
The Angel lands by the STREET CORNER on top of an SUV,

crushing it like a soda can. Laying down he hears the sound
of a MOTORCYCLE nearby.
Father Fullerton appears on a Harley Davidson in a leather

jacket and sunglasses. He has a riot shotgun slung around his
body.
FULLERTON
Get on.
The Angel groans and rolls off the SUV.
Fullerton watches through his SUNGLASSES as Satan flashes his

teeth and charges up with another fireball.
FULLERTON (CONT'D)
Hurry.
The Angel gets on the back of the Harley. Fullerton revs the
engine and spins the wheel against the pavement. Then with a
burst of energy the bike takes off, only seconds before a
fireball can hit. The two wheel toward Satan, top speed.
ANGEL
Shouldn’t we be going in the
opposite direction?!
FULLERTON
Never run away from your problems!
ANGEL
What about driving away?
Fullerton zigzags avoiding the barrage of fireballs. The

attacks are close, some missing by less than a few inches.
One of the fireballs hits into a car and flips it over
Fullerton and the Angel’s head.
102.
Satan roars with frustration, his arms wrapped in flame.
FULLERTON
Hang tight.
Fullerton pops a wheelie.
ANGEL
Whoa!
The Angel hangs on for dear life. The bike’s front drops down
and speeds up even faster.
Steering with one hand, Fullerton takes off the shotgun

around his chest. He pumps it and starts shooting at Satan
with sniper-like accuracy. But the shots only scrape against
the tough leathery skin.
Fullerton throws away his shotgun and dual wields with two
pistols, steering the Harley with only the sway of his body,
he blasts up at Satan as he passes under his huge thick legs.
Satan roars and spins around. He CHASES Fullerton and the

Angel. Fullerton tosses away his pistols and lowers down. The
bike rattles at maximum speed, the engine straining.
The ground rumbles with every step that Satan takes, his
hooves running and smashing into the street.
ANGEL (CONT'D)
(looks back)
What’s the plan, again?
FULLERTON
Plan?
Satan crosses his arms and throws two fireballs from his
hand. They smash into two buildings sitting across from each
other. They fall and crumble, creating a large WALL OF
RUBBLE.
Fullerton turns the Harley to its side and brakes with a

slide, stopping right in front of it.
ANGEL
Now what?
FULLERTON
Keep ‘im busy!
ANGEL
Huh?!
103.
Fullerton hops off the motorcycle and scales over the wall of
broken buildings.
Satan marches over to the Angel. His eyes look down, glowing
with a swirling inferno of hatred and anger.
SATAN
(speaks in unknown
language)
Don’t fight me. You can’t win.
ANGEL
You never know if you don’t try.
The Angel hops forward on the motorcycle and takes control.

He speeds toward Satan and leaps into the air. As the Harley
vanishes into the dark of the boulevard, the Angel completes
a flip and lands onto Satan’s face, hitting and punching it
like it were a pinata.
Satan grabs the Angel and ROARS. He takes the Angel and
thrusts his body through a building, then runs him along like
a mallet going down the bars of a xylophone.
Satan spins and whips the Angel away.
The Angel goes crashing through a pane of glass and tumbles

into a dim building.
A moment of silence.
Curiosity gets the better of Satan who bends his knees and
looks for the Angel inside the building.
ANGEL (OS) (CONT'D)

Looking for something?
Satan turns around and sees the Angel floating behind in the
air. But before he can react, he is overwhelmed by a white
blur; the Angel streaking back and forth with pounding
attacks.
Then the Angel winds up and throws a vicious haymaker. Satan

gets knocked back and falls onto the wall of rubble,
semiconscious.
Going for the coupe de grace, the Angel leans back then
rockets forward. But Satan suddenly opens his mouth. A ropey
tongue whips out and wraps around the Angel. He screams as he
is swallowed up.
104.
INT. SATAN’S BELLY - NIGHT
The Angel floats down through a pink fleshy tube and falls
into a dank pit where the walls are made of living people;
souls of the damned, bound to the innards of Satan’s stomach.
They moan and extend their arms out as if trying to escape.

Hitler appears behind the Angel.
HITLER
Join us!
He wraps his arm around his neck with a sinister grin.
EXT. HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD - WEST - NIGHT
Satan walks along the sidewalk, his hooves drag into the
ground, tearing up the stars on the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME.
A shadowy figure with a crossbow appears behind in the

distance, watching, stalking. He walks forward with a strut.
He calls out with an air of confidence.
CORNELIUS
Hey! Asshole!
Satan turns around. Cornelius’s face is revealed as he aims

his crossbow. He launches an arrow into Satan’s shoulder.
Satan barely flinches.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Come on!
Cornelius walks forward and goads Satan with more arrows.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
I’m right here!
Satan roars and charges toward Cornelius, but Cornelius stays

calm. He lowers his crossbow and waits. Satan leaps forward
like a rabid dog.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
...Now!
Danica leaps from a roof with the SPEAR OF DESTINY. She

plunges it into Satan’s back. He falls to his hands and knees
and shrieks in wild pain.
Cornelius puts his arms in front of him as the wind from the
roar of Satan’s breath blows across his face.
105.
Satan jerks back and stands up, throwing Danica to the

ground. He spins around frantically trying to reach the spear
on his back, but it’s firmly planted into his skin. He goes
crazy as an energy grows from the spear, spreading through
his body like a virus.
Danica crawls back with her eyes fixed on Satan; like a

person witnessing a car accident, she can’t look away.
Satan suddenly explodes... KABOOM!
Pink slime flies onto Danica and Cornelius’ faces. They wipe
it away as Johnny drops to the ground with Hitler’s
stopwatch.
CORNELIUS (CONT'D)
Johnny!
The two rush to his side.
DANICA
Are you okay?
Johnny spits out some slime.
JOHNNY
No -- but I think I’ll live.
He looks by his feet and picks up the stopwatch. He stands up

and glances at it, then throws it high into the air. It
twirls in slow motion.
MATCH CUT TO:
EXT. SKY - NIGHT TO DAY
The stopwatch fades away, dissolving to a disappearing solar

eclipse. We drop down to the top of the STATUE OF LIBERTY,
back in New York.
EXT. STATUE OF LIBERTY - ABOVE - DAY
Johnny stands between Danica and Cornelius, looking out at

the harbour on the STATUE’S TORCH.
JOHNNY
It’s a real shame things didn’t
work out between your parents...
You coulda been a big happy family.
Cornelius puts his arm around Johnny.

106.
CORNELIUS
I have all the family I need right
here.
Danica takes in a deep whiff of the sea air.
DANICA
It’s good to be back in New York.
She grabs Johnny’s hand and holds it.
Johnny smiles for a moment -- then his expression suddenly

drops from his face. He lets go of Danica’s hand and squints
with bewilderment, looking out to the horizon.
JOHNNY
What -- what is that?
EXT. STATUE OF LIBERTY - BELOW - DAY
A mass of tourists look up as they shield their eyes with

their hands.
EXT. HORIZON - DAY
An angel carrying a sword with black wings descends from the

sky and hovers over the sea. He spreads out his arms like a
cross. The water swirls beneath his feet.
EXT. STATUE OF LIBERTY - ABOVE - DAY
Johnny looks at Danica and Cornelius with apprehension.
DANICA
Go get ‘em.
He climbs over the guardrail and leaps down, transforming

into the Angel.
FADE OUT.
EXT. HELL - NIGHT - AFTER CREDITS
Hitler is in hell being burnt alive, prodded and tortured by

the demons, screaming in pain getting his “just deserts.”
